Answers

Answered by GPT-4o mini
The first known writing system is attributed to the Sumerians of ancient Mesopotamia around 3200 BCE. This early form of writing is called cuneiform, which involved making wedge-shaped marks on clay tablets using a stylus. Cuneiform was used for various purposes, including record-keeping, administration, and literature.

Other early writing systems also developed around the same time include Egyptian hieroglyphs and the Indus script, but cuneiform is generally recognized as the earliest fully developed writing system.
