AI overview

Cuneiform is the earliest known writing system, developed in ancient Mesopotamia to record the Sumerian language, and it features distinctive wedge-shaped marks that give it its name. This writing system remained in active use for thousands of years, from the early Bronze Age until the 1st century BC, and was adapted to write several different languages across the ancient Near East.

楔形文字（くさびがたもじ、せっけいもじ）とは、メソポタミア文明で使用されていた古代文字である。筆記には水で練った粘土板に、葦を削ったペンが使われた。最古の出土品は紀元前3400年にまで遡ることができる。文字としては人類史上最も古いものの一つであり、古さでは紀元前3200年前後から使われていた古代エジプトの象形文字に匹敵すると言われている。
