The Sumerian system of writing, known as cuneiform, emerged around 3200 BCE in ancient Mesopotamia. It was characterized by wedge-shaped marks made on clay tablets using a stylus, allowing for the recording of various languages, primarily Sumerian and Akkadian. Initially developed for accounting and administrative purposes, cuneiform evolved to encompass literature, law, and scientific texts, significantly influencing subsequent writing systems in the region. This innovative script laid the groundwork for the development of literacy and record-keeping in ancient civilizations.
