New review today: "Some of the best kept secrets of the Japanese progressive music scene were the bands and projects of #HirofumiKawahara (#Osiris, #AstralTempel, and #Heretic) probably because they didnโt fit into any of the convenient styles like symphonic progressive or the #AvantProgressive that followed. Now after 44 years of musical activity, Kawaharaโs entire body of work to date is being released in digital format by #Cuneiform." #ExposeOnline #AvantProg http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/heretic-hiro-kawahara-complete-works-3.html

'One of the earliest examples of writing known. And it is used here to record the allocation of beer.
Late Prehistoric (3100- 3000 BCE), and probably from southern Iraq.
Beer was issued as rations for workers, and was the most popular drink in Mesopotamia. The symbol for beer appears 3 times on this particular tablet (note the depicted upright jars with pointed bases).'

#DidYouKnow: #Cuneiform is a logo-syllabic script that was used to write several languages of the Ancient Near East. Cuneiform was originally developed to write the Sumerian language of southern Mesopotamia (modern Iraq).
Cuneiform is the earliest writing system. The latest known cuneiform tablet dates to 75 AD.

See also the German write-up on the project here: https://www.lmu.de/de/newsroom/newsuebersicht/news/im-fragmentarium.html
