Uncovering the History of Sokeman - Low-Ranking Government Officials in Ancient Mesopotamia

"Sokeman" is a term that was used in ancient Mesopotamia (present-day Iraq) to refer to a low-ranking government official or a scribe. The word "sokeman" is derived from the Akkadian language, and it is written as "su-kam" in cuneiform script.

In ancient Mesopotamia, the sokeman was responsible for carrying out various administrative tasks, such as keeping records, collecting taxes, and overseeing the distribution of goods. They were also responsible for ensuring that the laws and regulations of the government were being followed.

The term "sokeman" is still used today in some contexts to refer to a low-ranking official or a scribe, and it is also found in many ancient Mesopotamian texts and inscriptions.
