Cuneiform

Did you know that Cuneiform is considered one of the oldest known forms of writing?  Human writing systems have a long, rich history dating back about 5,000 years.  Cuneiform is thought to have originated in ancient Sumer, part of the Mesopotamian Empire.  For more information, check out the research project I did on cuneiform for my Writing as a Social Practice class at the University of Utah.
