- mcguire 10y agoIt shouldn't be any worse than learning Japanese. May not be as easy as Mayan; I've heard those guys try to teach Mayan to anyone who will stand still long enough. I've seen textbooks on Babylonian and Assyrian on Amazon, although I have no idea if they're any good. Any university with a Middle Eastern archaeology program might have an occasional class. You might check with /r/askahistorian on Reddit. And yes, I think I've seen a translation of a largish tablet published by an amateur translator who learned on his own.
