This is a Babylonian clay board written in Akkadian. It was created no earlier than the 9th century BC (more likely in the 8th or late 7th century BC). This map is centered around the Euphrates River, flowing from the north to the south. Babylon is marked on the map and is located in the northern half of the map. The outlet of the Euphrates River is marked as "swamp" and "outlet". Susa, the capital of Eram, is located in the south, while Uratu is in the northeast,. Mesopotamia is surrounded by a circular "river" called the "Kushui River" or the ocean, with seven or eight "regions" depicted as triangular regions displayed outside the ocean.
