Stolen Sumerian Tablets Were Written In A Lost City

Irisagrig is a Sumerian city which has never been found. But we know it existed, from the cuneiform tablets it left behind, and mentions in tablets from other cities.

Recently, a new cache of tablets written in Irsagrig were found. Their discovery is a little crazy: US law enforcement seized thousands of looted artifacts from Hobby Lobby! The company had illegally purchased the artifacts after they were looted from Iraq.

Among the seized artifacts were at least 450 tablets from Irisagrig, which appear to have been written between  2100 BCE and 1600 BCE.
