Archaeologists have discovered hundreds of administrative tablets from the ancient Sumerian city of Girsu, revealing the surprisingly detailed and extensive bureaucracy of the Akkadian empire (2300-2150 BC). These tablets represent the earliest physical evidence of imperial control and provide insight into daily life, governance, and even the roles of women in Mesopotamian society.
