The first systems of writing developed in ancient Mesopotamia, specifically in Sumer around 3200 BCE, with cuneiform script. Concurrently, hieroglyphics emerged in ancient Egypt around 3100 BCE. Other early writing systems include the Indus script in the Indus Valley and the Chinese oracle bone script, both appearing around the same time or slightly later. These early writing systems were primarily used for administrative, religious, and commercial purposes.
