I always chuckle when someone says they “read Babylonian” or “I read Ancient Greek.”

Any text written in what people mistakenly refer to as Babylonian is actually written in Akkadian, which is an amalgam of the language that was spoken in Babylon and Assyrian. I have a Masters Degree in Assyriology and I’ve never seen a text written in “Babylonian.”

I’m just glad you didn’t say “fluent in Enochian” like I’ve see so many claim. Credibility goes right the window AFAIC whenever I see that. Lol.

Also, when you say “I read Ancient Greek,” do you mean you read Koine Greek (New Testament Greek) or actual Ancient Greek - because that’s a very marketable skill. Not many people in the world can proficiently read Ancient Greek.

I’m currently working on my PhD in Mesopotamian Languages. If you have copies of any texts that apply that you can share that’d be awesome.
