This article presents information on the book "They Wrote on Clay. The Babylonian Tablets Speak Today," by Edward Chiera and edited by George G. Cameron. Chiera, in this book, emphasizes the value to cultural history of the record and describes the tablets themselves, their locale, materials, and form, their numbers and their uses. He explains and illustrates the cuneiform, developing from pictograph to phonetic symbol its distribution from Boghazkeui to Tel-el-Amarna and its alphabetic form at Ras Shanairu. This book, reportedly, is an empirical theology of archeology.
