Maybe it is and archaeologists never thought about it.

Right, which is why I said that they would need to make a mold from the first tablet.

All they would have to do is press clay into the original to make a mold, and then either do what he said, by pressing cloth onto the mold, or do what I said, press more clay onto the mold.

That makes it a three step process, but still a very simple and basic one.

If I could read cuneiform I'd reverse the picture and see if it made any sense. But I have no idea what the slabs say, only what's written about them.
