the third bullet point at the top says that hieroglyphs in Egypt were the oldest writing found, from 3200 BCE, but wasn't Sumerian text created in 3000 BCE? so wouldn't that be the start of history or are my facts wrong?

Question

Accepted Answer

∻Answer∻ ⚹ The Sumerian text, specifically cuneiform, is indeed one of the oldest known writing systems, dating back to around 3000 BCE. However, Egyptian hieroglyphs are also among the earliest forms of writing, with evidence suggesting they were developed around 3200 BCE. Both writing systems are crucial in the study of early civilizations and the development of written history. ⚹ ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹ The development of writing systems in ancient civilizations ⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹ The Sumerians of Mesopotamia and the ancient Egyptians both developed early writing systems that are critical to our understanding of early human history. Cuneiform, used by the Sumerians, and hieroglyphs, used by the Egyptians, are among the earliest known forms of writing. While there is some debate about the exact dates, both systems emerged around the same time, marking the beginning of recorded history. The slight difference in dates (3200 BCE for hieroglyphs and 3000 BCE for cuneiform) does not significantly alter the fact that both are foundational to the study of ancient civilizations. ⚹◊What was the significance of the development of Sumerian writing in 3000 BCE in the history of civilization?⍭ Generate me a similar question◊
