High confidence

(1) To the treasurer, my lord: your servant Aššur-reṣuwa. Good health to my lord! (4) The messenger of the Ukkean who went to Urarṭu has come down to Assyria, and proceeded from Assyria to the land of the Great Shepherd. In Muṣaṣir [......] (Break) (r 2) My lord should know the [heart] of this matter. I will write to the palace everything that was written in this letter; I am writing to my lord only these ascertained facts.

Proto-Cuneiform Account Tablet

One of the earliest specimens of human writing. Not literature, not law — accounting. The need to keep track of grain in a temple bureaucracy is what pushed marks-on-clay into a system that could one day carry epics.

~2050 BCE

Drehem Cattle-Distribution Tablet

A window into the world's first total state. The Ur III administration tracked every animal, every worker, every shekel — for a population in the millions. The level of paperwork was not exceeded until the modern era.

~1340 BCE

Amarna Letter EA 153 — Abi-milku of Tyre

Part of the earliest known body of international diplomatic correspondence. Akkadian, written in cuneiform on clay, was the lingua franca of Late Bronze Age statecraft — used between Egypt, the Hittites, Mitanni, Babylon, Assyria, and the Levantine vassals.
