Assyrian Script

Assyrian script, also known as cuneiform, is one of the earliest systems of writing, developed by the ancient Assyrians in Mesopotamia around 3000 BCE. It uses wedge-shaped marks made on clay tablets with a stylus. The script originally represented sounds and syllables, allowing it to convey complex ideas. Assyrian cuneiform was used for administrative records, literature, and laws. Over time, it evolved into various forms and scripts, influencing later writing systems in the region. Today, it offers valuable insights into the culture, history, and language of ancient Mesopotamia.
