Cuneiform Writing (1 jan 3500 ano antes da era comum – 1 jan 3500 ano antes da era comum)

Descrição:

This is the year that the first form of writing, cuneiform, came about. This was developed by Sumerian scribes in Mesopotamia, and later refined in the city-state of Uruk. It was done by using a reed stylus to carve indentations into clay, and later stone, tablets. This was used for more than simply tracking transactions; it was also used to write about events that happened in the lives of ancient Mesopotamians. It provided a basic script that different cultures could write in, and paved the way for future writing practices.
