Hello, I'm interested in books about ancient written works such as the Kish Tablet or other Sumerian works, the epic of Gilgamesh, etc. I'd love books that break down the language/context/etc. Can be from other cultures and time periods as well 😊

I’m a big fan of the Greek magical papyri. From 400-100BCE.
Okay, I don’t have any non-fiction for you on this. But I’m currently re-reading the sci fi Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson, and Sumerian related ideas/artifacts play a major role in a world spanning conspiracy the heroes must untangle and defeat. The reader gets the impression the author did lots of research into the matter, but of course the only way to confirm it is to Google around 60 elements or so from the story yourself (so I don’t know).
