How long ago was prehistory?

Prehistory is the time before the appearance of the written word. The Sumerian language was the first known written language, written in cuneiform script from about 3000 BC. Soon after that, other cultures developed their own styles of writing. Egyptian hieroglyphs, or picture writing, was introduced about 200 to 300 years before the Sumerian cuneiform script, was not true writing in the sense that it used pictures, not letters.


How did the invention of writing make other Egyptian achievements possible?

Writing allows the sharing and distribution of information, which allows other people to build upon concepts.


How did the invention of writing affect the sources on which historians rely on?

Before civilizations discovered writing, their traditions and history was passed down from generation to generation through oral story telling. These stories and traditions could never be documented and so there is very little understanding of primitive man and primitive society. With cultures that predate writing, historians rely on artifacts (tools, clothing, buildings, drawings, pottery) left by ancient people, to build a picture of what life was like for them. With the invention of writing, historians have an actual account of life during that time and can build a much better understanding on the culture and traditions of that civilization. Other artifacts are given more of meaning because the written accounts may tell archaeologists what exactly that item was used for, but the item is no longer necessary, to guess what life was like.


Which ancient civilization used religion to help solidify its presences?

The Sumerians, the Hittites, the Babylonians, the assyrians, the Medes (and other persians), the Chinese civilisations, the Indus valley civilisation and other Indian kingdoms, the Hebrews, the Egyptians... pretty much everyone...
