Writing Some of the first writing was developed in Mesopotamia. Many social scientists credit the Sumerian people for this writing. The writing looked like symbols and was called cuneiform. The Sumerians wrote on clay tablets. Later, the Phoenicians, while still using cuneiform, began to produce their own 22-letter alphabet. This development made it easier for people of the ancient world to learn to read and write. In some ways, their alphabet looked like Egyptian hieroglyphics. The Greeks and Romans adapted the Phoenician writing form to create their own alphabet. Writing was used in commerce. It was especially important communicating the history of people. It was also a powerful way of letting people know the laws. The first written set of laws was called the Code of Hammurabi. (Use the passage to answer questions 1-3)
