   This Neo-Assyrian text contains a magic spell to make a baby sleep:

   "Belch like a drunkard, snort like a baby gazelle, until your mother comes, strokes you, and picks you up."

   From the oldest surviving royal library in the world, the Library of Ashurbanipal, King of Assyria (668-around 630 BC).
