Cuneiform is an ancient writing system used in the Near East, primarily by the Sumerians, Akkadians, Babylonians, and Assyrians. It emerged around 3200 BCE in Mesopotamia. The script consists of wedge-shaped marks made on clay tablets using a stylus, hence the name "cuneiform," which means "wedge-shaped" in Latin. Initially used for record-keeping and administrative purposes, it later evolved to represent complex ideas, literature, and legal texts. Cuneiform is one of the earliest known writing systems and provides crucial insights into early human civilization.
