A:

Regardless of whether Moses was a real, historical person, the Mosaic period refers to the late Bronze Age, around 1400-1500 BCE. Certainly we know that the Egyptians and Mesopotamians were using writing long before this time. Cuneiform script is one of the earliest known systems of writing, emerging in Sumer in the fourth millennium BCE. Some monumental stone writings from Egypt long predate the Mosaic period.
