Cuneiform: Delving into History's Oldest System of Writing - with a Demonstration by

Cuneiform was first developed in ancient Sumer and is believed by most scholars to be humanity's earliest system of writing. Emerging over 5,000 years ago on the fertile plains of Mesopotamia, this intricate method of inscribing clay tablets became the foundation for recording the complexities of a burgeoning civilization. As the primary medium for documenting everything from administrative records to epic literature, cuneiform not only facilitated the development of a structured society but also laid the groundwork for subsequent cultures in the region. Understanding this script is essential to appreciating the profound impact it had on the evolution of written communication and the preservation ancient Near Eastern history. In this video, we'll not only take a look at what cuneiform is and how it developed, but we'll also get a demonstration as to how it was generally written by modern Sumerian scribe Jake Baxter, a.k.a.
