Made In History

A 5,000-year-old Sumerian tablet that was used to record a sales receipt for beer making supplies and features what is believed to be the oldest known signature in human history.

Symbols on the top left corner of the tablet — the supposed signature — translate as 'KU' and 'SIM' which experts have interpreted as spelling the name 'Kushim.' Archeologists posit that the name was likely of a government scribe who created the recording on the clay tablet for administrative purposes.

In 2020, the tablet was sold to a private American collector for $230,000

Its absurd that this can be private property. It belongs to humanity.
