Sumerian writing is known as cuneiform, which consists of hundreds of wedge-shaped marks made by pressing a reed stylus into damp clay tablets. This writing system originated in ancient Mesopotamia around 3200 BCE and was used for various purposes, including record-keeping, literature, and administrative documentation. The term "cuneiform" itself means "wedge-shaped," reflecting the distinctive shapes of the characters. Over time, it evolved to represent different languages and cultures in the region.
