When Was The First And Most Basic Form Of Writing Developed?

Historians state that the findings of ancient scripts have paved a long way for them in understanding the people who had written those scripts.  The first nation who actually developed the craft of writing were Sumerians, who belonged to the Mesopotamian Civilization, thriving by the Rivers Tigris and Euphrates.  Normally they used writing symbols that held an obvious resemblance to the pictorial manifestation of the things that those symbols represented. For writing objects, the Sumerians used wedge shapes to form their writing signs.  Those shapes were cut out on a special tool, which they pressed on to clay tablets.

Later on, the Egyptians grew a plant called papyrus, which they later on used to make paper and use it for writing.  Ancient Roman scriptures were written on wax tablets.  The Romans used to write by scratching on those tablets.  As for Chinese scriptures, initially the Chinese used to write on bones or wood.  Later on they invented a paper made out of rags.
