caption: The image shows a cuneiform tablet from the Assyrian Empire, which is a stone block with a black and white image of a man on a boat carved into it. The man is wearing a long robe and a hat, and is holding a staff in one hand and a shield in the other. He is standing on a rocky outcrop, with a few trees and mountains in the background. The sky is a deep blue, and the sun is setting in the distance.
