I've been collecting interesting examples of information organisation in history, focusing on non-Western civilisations. I came across this example of an ancient Mesopotamian spreadsheet! It records wages paid to temple workers in 1295 BCE.

@michelleful I have been utterly obsessed with the ancient Mesopotamian world over the past year. This isn't a direct response to your interest around researching language. But the Fall of Civilizations podcast has a few great episodes around this area of history. Namely their episodes on the Sumerians and Assyrians. The other episode that really fascinates me is the one about the late Bronze Age collapse. Anyhow enjoy!
