The Sumerian writing system, known as cuneiform, was translated primarily by scholars in the 19th and early 20th centuries, notably by George Smith, who made significant contributions with his work on the Epic of Gilgamesh. Other key figures included Edward Hincks and Henry Rawlinson, who helped decipher and understand the complex script. Their efforts laid the groundwork for the study of ancient Mesopotamian literature and history.
