What date was writing invented?
ANSWER: The first findings point towards 4000 B.C. in Messopotamia (modern day Iraq). The original Messopotamian writing system was called cuneiform and it was created as a method of keeping accounts of sales, fees and charges. The way that this writing form was created was by using a triangular-shaped stylus pressed into soft clay for recording numbers. Later on the need to document what was being counted led to the creation of pictographic writing (using images to depict words, such as Egyptian hieroglyphic). This evolution led to further to the creaton of syllabic and pholetic alphabets around 2900B.C., which now they did not depict pictures, but sound-phonetic elements, such as Summerian, Phoenycian, Greek and Latin.
Why is writing important to civilizations?
Writing is important for civilization because it helps us do things we need everyday.1. It helps us create business transactions2. It helps us write treaty's3.It helps us choose what foods to eat4. It helps us give directions5. we also have writing to give directions6. Most important it helps us communicate with others with out writing there would be no solid form of communication.The above leaves out the most important effect of writing: the ability to transmit information to people we haven't ever met. This impact is felt in two ways:(a) The ability to accurately record history. That is, to know for sure exactly what someone said or did. This is critically important for passing down knowledge between generations, as it allows for the accumulation of more knowledge than could possibly be kept via oral histories. The impact of this is that writing allows for a sophisticated society with a much larger accumulated knowledge base than otherwise possible. In essence, what we see as technology is really predicated on a foundation of writing. No writing, no technological advancement (except at a glacially slow pace).(b) It allows for transmission of ideas across vast distances quickly and, most importantly, accurately. Writing allows for the accurate description of an idea, and one which does not depend on all carriers of that written idea to understand even a little of that idea. This transmission of ideas in a quick manner is the foundation of a complex society. No functioning society larger than what is called a Chiefdom (several thousand people, at most) is possible without writing of some form. Most importantly, writing is required for specialization of a society - in order to have farmers, merchants, political bureaucrats, soldiers, etc, one must have writing. Otherwise, everyone is a hunter-gatherer or farmer.
What prompted the Mesopotamians to invent writing?
The Mesopotamians invented writing primarily to manage and record the complexities of their increasingly sophisticated society, including trade, agriculture, and administration. As urban centers grew, the need for accurate record-keeping became essential for tracking transactions, resources, and legal matters. Writing also facilitated communication and the preservation of cultural and religious texts, enabling the transmission of knowledge across generations. Thus, the practical demands of their society drove the development of cuneiform, one of the earliest writing systems.
