Cuneiform law
Cuneiform law is generally classified separately from later Middle Eastern law, but has been viewed as a predecessor of Biblical and Jewish law. The communities of the Middle East that made use of cuneiform law were generally all in contact with one another, and developed similar cultures. Akkadian, a cuneiform language, was used throughout the entire area, and even as far as Egypt, for diplomatic communications during the Amarna Period.
Cuneiform Cliffs
The Cuneiform Cliffs () are steep, irregular cliffs at the south end of Malta Plateau, along the north side of the lower Mariner Glacier in Victoria Land. The name applied by the New Zealand Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1966 is descriptive of wedgelike spurs that project from the face of the cliffs.
