Dating from about 6,000 B.C., the earliest known tax records 3 were in the form of clay tablets unearthed in the ancient city-state of Lagash in mod- ern day Iraq. Property taxes were also col- lected in ancient Egypt, Persia, and China. 2 In the 11th century A.D., Lady Godiva rode naked on a white horse through Coventry, England to protest the tax assessment on her husband's property (he received a reduction). From 1662 to 1689, a hearth tax was administered in England to obtain an esti- 4 5 mate of a building's value. Assessors recorded the number and size of hearths in each home and calculated the value accord- 1 ingly.
