Sumerian birth certificate
Sumerian Birth Certificate - This small fragment of a cuneiform clay tablet (2000-1595 BC), represents details of a child's birth certificate from the Sumerian period. The document specifies the baby's gender and the names of his parents, in addition to the child's clay foot stamp, which represents the child's footprint. It was found in the Sumerian city of Nippur, present-day southern Iraq. This document is currently on display at the University of Pennsylvania Museum in the United States of America and may be one of the oldest birth documents known to the world and history. There is a theory that the Sumerians originally came from an older civilization, and because of the Great Flood, most of them died, and a small number of them migrated to southern Mesopotamia, and established the Sumerian civilization, and they were the first to write about the Great Flood. .
