Cuneiform was a writing system used by the Mesopotamians involving pictographs and signs cut into clay tablets to keep records of the past, communicate with each other, and write stories. It made life easier by allowing farmers to count crops given to temple workers and changed the world by enabling written communication and literacy through spelling.
