Tupšenna app for iPhone and iPad

In the first-millennium BC, the ancient Middle East was dominated by the mighty Assyrian Empire, a militaristic, bureaucratic state that spanned territory from Egypt in the west to Iran in the east. Thousands of clay letters, accounts and other records, detailing the everyday business of ancient Mesopotamia, were buried for centuries under the ruins of the imperial capitals. Excavated in the nineteenth century, published online in the twenty-first, this app offers a fast, offline interface to these documents for historical research.
