Cuneiform inscriptions

Cuneiform inscriptions are one of the earliest known forms of writing, developed by ancient Mesopotamians around 3400 BCE. They involve pressing a stylus with a wedge-shaped tip into soft clay tablets, creating patterns of wedge marks that represent words or ideas. These inscriptions were used for record-keeping, laws, literature, and communication. Over time, cuneiform evolved into a complex script with thousands of signs, reflecting the language and culture of Mesopotamian civilizations like the Sumerians, Akkadians, and Babylonians. Today, they offer valuable insights into early human history, society, and inventions.
