The Babylonians were a Mesopotamian civilization, as were all ancient civilizations between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. Mesopotamian civilizations, such as the Sumerians and the Babylonians, wrote using a system called "cuneiform." Cuneiform gets it's name from the Latin cuneus, meaning wedge. This Is because cuneiform was written with a wedge shaped stylus, usually made for twigs or copper. Unlike the Egyptians, the Babylonians did not use paper, but a soft clay tablet to write into. Of course, words were also written into stone, for example the very famous Hammurabi's Code. For this styluses made of harder materials (like copper) were used.
