Its known that cuneiform texts written on tablets made of mud, They clean it and soak it in water thereafter they cut it according it to size and shape of the required texts. However, they used stone and marble too. But rarely used gold or silver. Mesopotamian‘s scribe invented method of writing on wooden board from Ur.III period on. By the middle of the 50teenth of last century the British archaeologist at Nimrud discovered 16 ivory boards and similar made of wood in well in the northern palace of Ashurnasirpal II. They are rectangular approx. 30x15cm. and there are lines engraved on the surface. The remaining of the wax told us how they prepare it and used. They add date syrup or honey in order to fix the wax which mixed with special mud called K/Geel ( in Iraqi‘s dialectic ṭeen – Khawa) on the board surface. Then they can write cuneiform texts or draw image or plan easily etc,,. These wooden writing board was the first invented book since they can join up to 6 board together using hinger . they also could use both side of the word. This help them to write long texts . Ivory board , probably made for the usage of the king or palace officials , but the wooden writing board used in all aspect of scientific and religious activities. Ashurbanipal library acquired hundreds of them but unfortunately no one discovered yet. The last attestation in Sippar library from the Now and late Babylonian periods.

The research, as it appears from the title, aims at shedding light on one aspect of the blatant and inappropriate behavior practiced by some members of power and influence in the Assyrian Kingdom. It is certain that by extrapolating from the terms of the Assyrian treaties and sales and analyzing their true dimensions, we seek and understand the care of the kings and their growing concern to compel the citizens of the Kingdom to have good character towards them, represented by protection, sacrifice, honesty, sincerity, advice, loyalty, respect, honesty and rejection of any ill-manners such as treachery, Conspiracies, intrigues, defamation, witchcraft, sorcery, etc. As much as the Assyrian society has enjoyed the virtues and virtues inherent in many of its members, we find that the manifestations of malaise were also prominent in many Assyrian textual evidence, especially the administrative messages, which are often embodied in the behavior of some power and influence Against the citizens of the Kingdom such as abuse and cruelty, taking bribes and assaults on the property of others and the injustice of people and mistreatment and ridicule and vice, as well as deception and cunning and greed and jealousy and defamation and meet people with two faces and deny the beautiful.
