Was the code of Hammurabi written in cuneiform?

ANSWERHammurabi spoke Akkadian and wrote in the emerging written text of cuneiform. Cuneiform started as a pictograph, a symbolic way to record trades and stories. Then over a few thousand years, it developed into straight marks and wedge shapes that represent phonetic sounds. The latter being a much quicker way to write, as the symbols for objects run into the thousands and sounds can be reduced to a few hundred strokes.


Who invented cuneiform writing?

Around 3000B.C., the Sumerians created a cuneiform ("wedge-shaped") system of writing.I believe the Sumerians. In fact, cuneiform was the first written language, too. It was probably written on clay tablets with tools called stylus'. When this writing system was developed, it was used only for the subject of language arts. But later on they found a way to use it for other subjects, such as math or science.The writing form of pressing shapes and marks into clay is known as cuneiform. It was developed in the 4th millennium BCE by the Sumerian peoples of Mesopotamia. Initially cuneiform was a series of pictographs, but over time incorporated less and less characters to become more of a consonantal alphabet.

What was the most likely reason why the Mesopotamian people created cuneiform?

Cuneiform developed from a picture based writing method by a process of simplification of the original pictographs into 3 simple marks made by a (wedge shaped) reed stylus into soft clay; the marks are vertical, horizontal and diagonal. This simplification means the marks can be made reliably and quickly and this enabled people to begin using writing to both underpin business and to communicate one with another (as we do today). While you had to learn literacy the act of writing was no longer an art-form that only a few could master.
