The earliest written records from China are found on oracle bones, which date back to the Shang dynasty (approximately 1600–1046 BCE). These bones, typically from turtles or cattle, were used in divination practices and contain inscriptions in an early form of Chinese characters. Additionally, the "Shujing" or "Book of Documents," a classic text, includes some of the earliest historical records, although its compilation occurred later. Together, these artifacts provide crucial insights into early Chinese civilization and its writing system.
Around 3000 b.c., people began keep written records. Some of our earliest forms of medical records came from Egypt. These records were actually drawings and symbols known as hieroglyphics that proved information on illnesses and diseases, treatments that were used, and operations performed during ancient Egypt times.

Written records have existed for approximately 5,000 years. The earliest known forms of writing can be traced back to ancient civilizations like the Sumerians and the Egyptians, who developed writing systems around 3,000 BCE. These early written records were often inscriptions on clay tablets or papyrus scrolls.
