C'mon now. Sumerian tablets are documents, we're not talking about ticket stubs.
Here's some long form examples:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gudea_cylinders https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gudea_cylinders
>The Gudea cylinders are a pair of terracotta cylinders dating to circa 2125 BC, on which is written in cuneiform a Sumerian myth called the Building of Ningursu's temple.[1] The cylinders were made by Gudea, the ruler of Lagash, and were found in 1877 during excavations at Telloh (ancient Girsu), Iraq and are now displayed in the Louvre in Paris, France. They are the largest cuneiform cylinders yet discovered and contain the longest known text written in the Sumerian language.
