Tablion

Okay kiddo, so a tablion is a really cool thing that people used to write on a loooong time ago, before we had paper or computers. It's kind of like a really big and thick clay tablet that you can write on using tools like a stick or a stylus.

People from ancient civilizations like the Sumerians and Babylonians used tablions to write all sorts of things like stories, laws, and even letters. They would first make the clay by mixing mud with water and then flattening it out into a big rectangle.

Then, they would use their stick or stylus to carve little pictures and symbols on the clay, kind of like how we write letters and numbers today. When they were done writing, they would let the clay dry in the sun or bake it in an oven to make it hard and strong.

The cool thing about tablions is that they could last for a really long time, even thousands of years! That's why we can still look at tablions today and learn about what people in the past were like and what they thought was important.

So there you have it, a tablion is basically a big, ancient clay tablet that people used for writing a long time ago. Pretty cool, right?
