What are writing is important?
Writing is one of the most important
forms of communication. Man first learnt to communicate through sound and
gesture. However, he soon felt the need to communicate through other means. Writing
was one of them. Writing was invented and developed in all the ancient culture.
The need to maintain records of transaction important events taking place in
the society led to and carving on rocks to convey through and ideas to other. These
rocks painting and carving are called petroglyphs. The carving and painting
were done with the help of stone tools by prehistoric people. The Sumerians were
the first to invent a script that later developed into an organised system of
writing. This script is known as the Cuneiform. It was developed as a
pictograph that had 600 signs.
