Cuneiform
Cuneiform was a system of writing created
in Mesopotamia around 3,000 BCE. Scribes used a reed to make “wedge shaped”
indentations on a clay tablet. Cuneiform started as way of keeping track of
business transactions but was later used to create alphabets for the languages
spoken in Ancient Mesopotamia. The Code of Hammurabi (discussed later) was written
in cuneiform.
