Cuneiform was a writing system used by the Mesopotamians involving pressing pictographs and signs into clay tablets to keep records, communicate, and write stories. It represented one of the earliest forms of writing and revolutionized their society by allowing farmers to account for crop distributions and the development of spelling and literacy through recorded language.
