While hiking through the gorge, my 6yo found some carvings.
"Look! I found some carvings! I heard about these! They were made by prehistoric people in ancient times!"
Observe the prehistoric carvings.

It's hard to be sure what the earliest recorded Arabic poetry is, but a good candidate is North Arabian inscription KRS 2453:
"It is Lord Mot's feast: the brute eats yet.
The exchange of nights and days is set.
Behold Baal sleeps. Asleep, he is not dead."

Despite studying Dravidian languages out the wazoo (because it's accepted opinion that the Indus Valley civilization must have been Dravidian), he ultimately found it to be an early form of Sanskrit. https://www.academia.edu/105134798/A_Partial_Decipherment_of_the_Indus_Valley_Script_Proposed_Phonetic_and_Logographic_Values_for_Selected_Indus_Signs_and_Readings_of_Indus_Texts #IndusValley #epigraphy

An #Arabic inscription found in #Syria mentions #Goddess of Daathen, an #Arab town in Negev, again without mentioning who She is, because of course we all know who she is.
I personally lean towards the goddess mentioned being Al-Uzza, since that what the later sources describing the #Christianization of #Palestinians mention.

New additions to Attic Inscriptions Online include a funerary stele to Theophile (c. 400-350 BCE). Originally from the Piraeus, it is now in the collection of the RD Milns Antiquities Museum at the University of Queensland. (I've been fortunate to see it there a few times in the course of my ancient history studies at UQ.)

Happy bread in Pompeii Day, to those who celebrate.
(I have not checked CIL to confirm the citation / the original Latin. But at least this meme includes a source, which is promising.)

RT by @thegrugq: This Pompeian wall displays two distinct kinds of #epigraphy we'll look at for this week's #EpigraphyTuesday. At top is a bit of ad copy in a measured and dignified script, and below it is the hasty scrawl of electoral hustling, in #Pompeii as it would be in #Naples or #Rome.
