Cuneiform preceded hieroglyphs, which was the writing system utilized by the ancient Egyptians. Cuneiform consisted of wedge shaped characters and pictorial representations impressed in slabs of clay with blunt edges of reeds. It is one of the earliest known writing systems, and the first known written language.
