The oldest pay stubs of world in Mesopotamia
Probably, it is not far understand this one of oldest discovered writing from ancient is belong to two principle concern of human: job and alcohol. As the report of
Website New Scientist, archaeologists say 5000years ago, workers who lived in Uruk (in 250 km south of Baghdad) at Mesopotamia received beer instead of money. In a stone inscription that on it image cuneiform was carved, the necessary wage (in fact, beer) is mentioned for some specific works. Archaeologists believe this bred is the oldest human's pay stub that has been found. It seems that the concept of payment specific salary for the specified work was current in the five thousand years ago in the world. This stone bred is in Great Britain museum in London. But even though this bred may be is the earliest pay stubs of human, but this is not the first time that "Alcohol" is paid instead of wages for labors. Science Alert reported this tradition was common in building the Egyptian pyramids and every worker had been received 4 to 5 liters of beer daily. Although Ian Hudar, an anthropologist at Stanford University in America believes that in this bred the "ration" of any work is specified based on beer, but people had lived that time as a group. They were not owners of the land and all worked together and then the products were divided between clans. So the concept of wages in the way that is popular today is not common at that time. Hudar said: "My opinion is that they were looking to work as part of the daily activities such as cooking, religious practices and carnivals that were important part of their lives". It seems that payment system in exchange for specified work was created later by more sedentary of people with surplus production to consumption of a group or tribe.
