EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an ancient artifact from Mesopotamia, now on display at the Louvre Museum in Paris. The image captures a remarkable Oriental antiquite: a medical tablet engraved with intricate cuneiform writing. This tablet was meticulously drawn up after a liver examination for presages, dating back to the Seleucid and Parthian periods (around 300 BC - 200 AD). The tablet represents the profound knowledge and advanced writing system of this ancient civilization. Cuneiform, one of the earliest known forms of writing, reveals their expertise in documenting medical practices and predictions. Intriguingly, this artifact offers insights into the healthcare practices of that time. It serves as evidence of how doctors in Mesopotamia utilized liver examinations to make predictions about health conditions and potential outcomes. As we admire this relic, it transports us back to an era where care for one's well-being was deeply intertwined with spirituality and divination. It reminds us that even thousands of years ago, people sought answers regarding their health through methods both familiar and foreign to us today. This photograph not only highlights the rich history of Arab civilization but also pays homage to the Middle East's contributions to medicine and human understanding. Its presence at the Louvre Museum allows visitors from around the world to appreciate its significance within our collective heritage.
