The Babylonian (Mesopotamian) World Map (700-500 BC), a diagrammatic labeled depiction of the world, discovered in Sippar, southern Iraq. It was first published in 1899 AD. The map was written in cuneiform script on a clay tablet, of which only the major portions survive, measuring 12.2 x 8.2cm. This tablet contains both a  cuneiform inscription and a unique map of Mesopotamian world.  Babylon is shown in the centre (rectangle in top half of the circle), and Assyria, Elam and other places are also named. Central area is ringed by a circular waterway labelled 'Salt-Sea'. Outer rim of the sea is surrounded by what were probably originally eight regions, each indicated by a triangle, labelled 'Region' or 'Island', and marked with the distance in between. The cuneiform text describes these regions, and it seems that strange and mythical beasts as well as great heroes lived there, although the text is far from complete. Details of the Map : 1. “Mountain” (Akkadian:šá-du-ú) 2. “City” (Akkadian: uru) 3. Urartu (Armenia) (Akkadian: ú-ra-áš-tu) 4. Assyria (Akkadian: kuraš+šurki) 5. Der (Akkadian: dēr) 6. Swamp (Akkadian: ap–pa–ru) 7. Elam (Akkadian: šuša) 8. Canal (Akkadian: bit-qu) 9. Bit Yakin (Akkadian:bῑt-ia-᾿-ki-nu) 10. “City” (Akkadian: uru) 11. Habban (Akkadian: ha-ab-ban) 12. Babylon (Akkadian: tin.tirki), divided by Euphrates 13. Ocean (salt water, Akkadian:idmar-ra-tum) Mythological objects. "The regions are shown as triangles since that was how it was visualized that they first would look when approached by water. "The map is sometimes taken as a serious example of ancient geography, but although the places are shown in their approximately correct positions, the real purpose of the map is to explain the Babylonian view of the mythological world" British Museum (92687) © I.L.

Roughly 22,000 to 23,000 years ago, a likely young woman made two dangerous trips across the expanse of Lake Otero, an ancient lake from the Ice Age, with at least one of these trips involving her carrying a small child.
