What an excellent and detailed historical piece on literary culture! You would not believe that I did not know that a library as old as the Library of Ashurbanipal existed. It must certainly be a treasure base.
It's a relief to know that all the books, texts and tablets were preserved after the destruction of the library in the 6th Century B.C. King Ashurbanipal built a legacy.
Thanks for sharing this enlightening piece us. I am so glad I came across this post. Well done! 😊
