The invention of writing is generally attributed to around 3200 BCE in ancient Mesopotamia, specifically in the region that is modern-day Iraq. The earliest form of writing developed was cuneiform, created by the Sumerians. This writing system involved making wedge-shaped marks on clay tablets. Parallel developments occurred in other regions, such as Egyptian hieroglyphs around 3100 BCE. Writing systems continued to evolve over time, leading to the diverse scripts we have today.
