<p>[QUOTE="moreotherstuff, post: 362855, member: 56"]There is a cuneiform tablet, found in the temple ruins at Py-balam in Sumer, and dating to the 3rd millenium BC, that lists criminals, their crimes and punishments. Included is one Gazualum who sold an ancient relic of their goddess to the priests of Nisaba. It was a procession cup that turned out to be in a new style that simply hadn’t been seen before in that district. He was sentenced to death “at the hands of the Goddess”, though no one is quite sure what that meant.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
