Yes, cuneiform is older than hieroglyphics. Cuneiform, developed by the Sumerians around 3200 BCE in ancient Mesopotamia, is considered one of the earliest writing systems. In contrast, Egyptian hieroglyphics emerged a few centuries later, around 3100 BCE. Thus, while both are ancient writing systems, cuneiform predates hieroglyphics.

Egypt used hieroglyphics, Mesopotamia used cuneiform
Egyptian hieroglyphics and Mesopotamian cuneiform are both ancient writing systems, but they differ in form and function. Hieroglyphics use pictorial symbols to represent sounds, words, or concepts and were primarily used for religious texts and monumental inscriptions. In contrast, cuneiform, developed by the Sumerians, involves wedge-shaped marks made on clay tablets and served a broader range of purposes, including administrative, legal, and literary texts. Additionally, hieroglyphics evolved into a complex system with both logographic and alphabetic elements, while cuneiform primarily represented syllables and ideas.

Egypt used hieroglyphics, Mesopotamia used cuneiform
From what I understand, they are very different - the Egyptian hieroglyphics were actual pictures that represented emotion, or a physical thing. An eagle represented the bird, but also flying. The cuneiform technique was created by pressing a tool into clay to create symbols. so I would say that the Egyptians were more advanced at that time. Great question. Anyone else know?
