Yale culinary tablets

The Yale culinary tablets are a collection of four clay tablets containing various ancient Babylonian recipes. Three of the tablets are dated to around 1730 BCE, making them the oldest recipes in the world, while the fourth is dated to the much later Neo-Babylonian period. Presumably, the tablets first found their way in to the Yale collection c. 1911 before starting to be deciphered in 1942.
