Cuneiform is a system of writing first developed by the ancient Sumerians of Mesopotamia c. 3500-3000 BCE.It is considered the most significant among the many cultural contributions of the Sumerians and the greatest among those of the Sumerian city of Uruk which advanced the writing of cuneiform c. 3200 BCE.he earliest cuneiform tablets, known as proto-cuneiform, were pictorial, as the subjects they addressed were more concrete and visible (a king, a battle, a flood) but developed in complexity as the subject matter became more intangible (the will of the gods, the quest for immortality).
Although the Sumerians are the oldest civilization we know of at this time, they were a highly advanced people, even by some of today's standards. 6000 years ago, thousands of years before the Old Testament of the Hebrew Bible was first completed, the ancient cuneiform texts of the Sumerian clay tablets told stories about visitors from the heavens.
