Q1) cuneiform
Answer: Cuneiform is a system of writing that was used in ancient Mesopotamia, particularly by the Sumerians, Babylonians, and Assyrians. It is one of the earliest known forms of writing, dating back to around 3200 BCE. Cuneiform was created by pressing a reed stylus into clay tablets to create wedge-shaped characters. It was used for recording administrative, economic, and religious information, as well as literature and poetry. Cuneiform was primarily used in the region of Mesopotamia, which is modern-day Iraq and parts of Iran, Syria, and Turkey. It was in use for over three thousand years, until it was eventually replaced by the alphabet. Cuneiform is important because it represents one of the earliest forms of written communication and played a crucial role in the development of human civilization. It allowed for the recording and preservation of knowledge, history, and culture, and contributed to the advancement of society in ancient Mesopotamia.
