Cuneiform is a writing system developed over 6,000 years ago used in Mesopotamia, Persia, & Ugarit. It provides information about the ancient Sumerian history, & the history of humanity as a whole. It uses wedge-shaped characters impressed on clay tablets. #Archaeology #history
Most agree that cuneiform began as proto-writing-like African drumming and Incan quipa, & evolved into the first full-fledged writing system, with signs corresponding to speech. The root of cuneiform lies in tokens, or chits, used by Sumerians to convey information. #Archaeology
