While today we use lists to make sure we don't miss anything when shopping, a recent discovery by archaeologists suggests that such lists existed in ancient civilizations as well.

A cuneiform tablet recently discovered in Turkey offers a fascinating insight into administrative procedures nearly 3,500 years ago.

This historical plaque reveals the details of the purchase of furniture, including tables, chairs and benches, and shows how adept people in the past were at organizing their purchases.

This ancient tablet, found during the restoration of Alalahu's old city, reveals a list of furniture purchases, including wooden tables, chairs and benches.

The tablet is written in Akkadian, a now-extinct East Semitic language, and its discovery provides insight into the administrative procedures of the time.

The Minister of Culture and Tourism of Turkey, Mehmet Ersoy, emphasized that this plate weighing 28 grams and measuring 42 mm x 35 mm, represents an important contribution to understanding the rich heritage of Anatolia.

Studying this ancient shopping list allows linguists and historians to better understand how people organized their purchases in the past, even at a time when lists were not yet common.
