The tablet is small enough to fit in a person’s hand.

The object still holds carefully detailed instructions on getting rid of pesky ghosts.

The directions call for the exorcist to make figurines of a man and woman; prepare two vessels of beer; and, at sunrise, speak ritual words calling on the Mesopotamian god Shamash, who was responsible for bringing ghosts to the underworld.

The text’s final line urges readers to “not look behind you!”

This warning is probably intended as an instruction aimed at entering the underworld

RX – Shamash (CHRIST)

Mesopotamian god

Shamash was not only the god of justice but also governor of the whole universe; in this aspect he was pictured seated on a throne, holding in his hand the symbols of justice and righteousness, a staff and a ring.

Shamash, as the central sun deity, exercised the power of light over darkness and evil.

In this capacity he became known as the god of justice and equity and was the judge of both gods and men.

(According to legend, the Babylonian king Hammurabi received his code of laws from Shamash.)

At night, Shamash became judge of the underworld.
