Babylonian Map of the World (6th century BC), also known as Imago Mundi, is oldest clay tablet map written in Akkadian.

The tablet describes the oldest known depiction of the known world.

It was discovered at Sippar, southern Iraq, 60 miles north of Babylon on east bank of Euphrates River.

This map not only serves as a historical record of the region's geography but also includes mythological elements, providing a comprehensive view of the ancient Babylonian worldview.

Today, the Babylonian Map of the World is housed in the British Museum, where it continues to be a valuable artifact for understanding the ancient past.

Details of the map:

1. “Mountain” (Akkadian:šá-du-ú)

2. “City” (Akkadian: uru)

3. Urartu (Armenia) (Akkadian: ú-ra-áš-tu)

4. Assyria (Akkadian: kuraš+šurki)

5. Der (Akkadian: dēr)

6. Swamp (Akkadian: ap–pa–ru)

7. Elam (Akkadian: šuša)

8. Canal (Akkadian: bit-qu)

9. Bit Yakin (Akkadian:bῑt-ia-᾿-ki-nu)

10. “City” (Akkadian: uru)

11. Habban (Akkadian: ha-ab-ban)

12. Babylon (Akkadian: tin.tirki), divided by Euphrates

13. Ocean (salt water, Akkadian:idmar-ra-tum)

— A Babylonian young man complains to his mother about the poor quality of his clothes.

The letter from Iddin-Sin to Zinu is an Old Babylonian letter written by the student Iddin-Sin to his mother Zinu. It is thought to have been written in the city of Larsa in the 18th century BC, around the time of Hammurabi's reign 3500 years ago.

Disappointed with the quality of the clothes his mother had weaved for him vis-à-vis those of his peers, Iddin-Sin in the letter tried to use various methods to manipulate his mother into feeling guilty and sending him new clothes.

One year I’ll do MerMay for real; I keep telling myself that. 

For now though here’s a concept based on Oannes, one of the first ‘mermen’ recorded in ancient Babylonian writings. He was also described as being fish-like with human legs and a human head (a project for another day perhaps) and would come out of the sea to share his knowledge and wisdom with the people of the land. His bottom half here is based very loosely on a Leerfish, a coastal Mediterranean species.
