At first, this writing was representational: a bull might be represented by a picture of a bull, and a pictograph of barley signified the word barley. That writing system, invented by the Sumerians, emerged in Mesopotamia around 3500 BCE.
The earliest writing systems evolved independently and at roughly the same time in Egypt and Mesopotamia, but current scholarship suggests that Mesopotamia’s writing appeared first.
