Sumerians, emerging from Southern Mesopotamia, is one
of the pioneering civilizations in the world. They had developed a unique
writing system known as the ‘cuneiform’ that even though the existed way before
8000 B.C. years ago, 3000 years after, it still influenced the other neighboring
areas. The writing system consists of sharp strokes and shapes that symbolizes
their livelihood at that time such as trading goods and livestock. These pictographs
originally were clays representing items for purchase, however as time pass by,
Sumerians had learned to wirte it down.
