Explanation:

Cuneiform writing is commonly accepted as one of the oldest forms of written expression, according to the registry of archaeological remains. In 1997 the Gunter Dreyer team of the German Institute of Archeology found in Umm el-Qaab, near Abydos, a set of 300 clay pots and tablets with Egyptian hieroglyphic writing, dated by carbon-14 from 3400 to 3200 BC, so they are possibly the oldest documents.

At the end of the 4th millennium BC the Sumerians began to write their language by means of pictograms, that represented words and objects, but not abstract concepts. Towards 2600 a. C. the pictographic symbols were already clearly differentiated from the original ideogram, and at the end of that millennium, in order to make writing easier, they were completely different.
