The World of Abraham, debuting February 1, 2025, encompasses artifacts of the Mesopotamian region and a span of several millennia.

This exhibit will highlight cuneiform tablets on loan from Claudia Woodard and the Horn Museum located on the campus of ¶·Å£ÆåÅÆ University in Berrien Springs, Michigan. They were found in Ur, Abraham’s hometown, which was a metropolis of Mesopotamia (modern-day Iraq). These clay tablets date to the early second millennium BC, an era known as Ur III or the Third Dynasty which dates from ca. 2070–1969 BC. The tablets are written in the Akkadian language in a cuneiform script. Cuneiform was a common means of record keeping and diplomatic correspondence in Mesopotamia and the southern Levant for much of the Bronze Age.
