At least I am 6'3 so I am probably going to be enslaved as I am a giant in their time period. So at least I don't have to starve.

I will pretend to be the avatar of some god and show them some futuristic stuff to impress them.
I will also become their new king and make an empire, conquers the middle east and massively exterminate hebrews tribes for precautions.

Good thing I took Akkadian at the university, I guess!

Bad thing that I know they'll most likely enslave me.

>>68715965

It wouldn't make a difference, I already live among KANGZ

>>68717390
Sorry for breaking your daydream, Carlos-san.

>>68717817
Well we have a pretty good understanding about how these languages sounded. A better understanding than many Germans have about pronouncing English, for example.

>>68717897
it's still not a language per se, just an acquired philological skill

also I find it dubious that universities train young people to decipher Akkadian (Norse and Latin are far more common and frankly much easier for obvious reasons)

WTF are you on about? Those are languages like any other.

>also I find it dubious that universities train young people to decipher Akkadian (Norse and Latin are far more common and frankly much easier for obvious reasons)

We have a SHITLOAD of Akkadian texts, probably more than Latin from the classical period.
