Writing Cuneiform발음듣기

Because the Cyrus Cylinder was meant for a Babylonian audience, it was written in the Babylonian language, which is a Semitic tongue related to the modern languages of Hebrew, Arabic and Aramaic.발음듣기

The writing system which Cyrus's officials used was the traditional Cuneiform script which had been invented in ancient Iraq well before 3000 BC.발음듣기

It is written by pressing a stylus, something a bit like a chopstick, into the surface of the clay, which is nearly dry.발음듣기

The signs which convey the sound of the language consist of different arrangements of these strokes.발음듣기

They're written one-by-one and the reader has to join them up, and the sound emerges from the clay.발음듣기

This is the line that says, "I am Kurash, king of the world, the great king, king of Babylon..." and so it goes on.발음듣기

So begin to write Kurash, the first sign Ku has the big vertical, two small horizontals, one bigger horizontal, a little vertical and another horizontal, like a box.발음듣기

This is Ku Then Ra, we have three strong horizontals and a big one next to it, then one little vertical wedge and one bigger vertical wedge.발음듣기

KuRa. Now we do Ash, which is three long horizontals then a vertical in the middle.발음듣기

So we can read this Ku ra ash, the name of Cyrus.발음듣기
