Babylonian Map Of The World Tablet - Imago Mundi

The Babylonian Map of the World, also known as the Imago Mundi is a Babylonian-era fired clay tablet written in the ancient Akkadian language, and contains a depiction of the known world at that time. Likely made around the 6th Century BC, the map is centered on the Euphrates, flowing from the north (top) to the south (bottom). The city of Babylon is shown on the Euphrates, Susa, the capital city of Elam, is shown to the south, Urartu to the northeast, and Habban, the capital of the Kassite people is shown to the northwest. The tablet was excavated by Hormuzd Rassam at Sippar, Baghdad, north of Babylon on the eastern bank of the Euphrates River. It was acquired by the British Museum in 1882, with the text first translated in 1889.
