Sumeria?

In the road pavers, they had directions to the brothal leading from the docks.

None of the above. This ancient advertisement is about 3000 y.o., and found somewhere in Greece. Can anyone guess where ?

There's some controversy here: Some state the first is a Greek ad announcing reward money for a "lost" slave (though I don't know specifically where). Others believe it's an ad for a brothel in Ephesus.

Majority of the sources agree that the first is the one announcing reward for a lost slave. That one was found in Thebes, about 1000 B.C.
