- slim 4y agothe article says cuneiform came from these pictograms (proto cuneiform)
- hknmtt 4y agocuneiform is just the method, like pen and paper. i am sure there existed characters before but we cannot know that, nor how they wrote before that, because the clay tablets are the oldest written records humanity has available that survived all this time.
- rvense 4y agoAFAIK writing is thought to have been invented from nothing in at least three places: the Americas, the Middle East, and China.
