Gods in the Classroom: Religion in Babylonian Schools
Original: Gods in the Classroom: Religion and Education in First Millennium BCE Babylonia
A new academic article in the journal Iraq examines how religion shaped education in first millennium BCE Babylonia, drawing on cuneiform texts from scribal schools of the period. The study explores how gods featured in classroom exercises, curricula and the daily training of young scribes in ancient Mesopotamia. Readers online have been sharing the piece, with interest centred on what it reveals about the intersection of faith and learning in one of history's earliest literate societies.
Why now: Fresh scholarly research on ancient Babylonian education appeals to readers interested in history and archaeology.
