context: Cuneiform (English: Cuneiform) is a type of ancient cuneiform writing written on clay tablets. [1] The word "cuneiform" comes from the Latin, cuneus which means 'wedge' or 'nail' and forma which means "form". [1] Thus, cuneiform is an ancient writing that uses "cuneiform". [1] [2] This article is classified as a complex writing and allegedly only used by certain people. [1] Cuneiform flourished in the Sumer region (the ancient name for southern Mesopotamia which is now in southern Iraq, near the Persian Gulf). [1] Allegedly, this paper was used by the Sumer people around three thousand years before Christ, almost a contemporary of the Hieroglyphs that flourished in Egypt. [1] In the earliest practice, cuneiform was thought to be used for bookkeeping in palaces or temples in the Sumer region. [1] In addition, this paper is also used for trading activities. [1] From Sumer, the cuneiform then progressed to Akkad (the area to the north of Sumer). [1] From here, cuneiform developed (in Akkad language) and was widely used in the Ancient Middle East region.
