Question

Answer in short

why clay tablets were important to the Mesopotamia?
​

Answer 1

Mesopotamians used clay for their documents because cuneiform was written with a reed stylus by pressing the pictographs into the clay; they needed a surface that was flexible. Yet clay was also “the hardiest writing medium you can imagine,” Paulus says.

Answer 2

These clay tablets are called the Hammurabi's Code. They were a set of basic laws and rights that the Mesopotamians followed and were helpful to the development.
