A tablet (Assyrian) 2800 B. C. says :
" Our earth is degenerate in these latter days ; there are signs that the world is speedily coming to an end; bribery and corruption are common ; children no longer obey their parents ; every man wants to write a book, and the end of the world is evidently approaching."
Tablet preserved in Constantinople
* A 1923/1924 book Nineteenth century evolution and after; a study of personal forces affecting the social process, in the light of the life-sciences and religion, by Marshall Dawson, which contains the quote (p 76):An Assyrian tablet, dating from 2800 B. C., preserved in Constantinople, says: "Our earth is degenerate in these latter days; there are signs that the world is speedily coming to an end; bribery and corruption are common; children no longer obey their parents; every man wants to write a book, and the end of the world is evidently approaching."
issues with this: Thatโs not Old Assyrian, there were no books in 2800bc, thatโs not what the tablet says, someone just made that shit up a hundred years ago and then more recently someone attached a random cuneiform tablet image to the fake quote
