Cuneiform was invented by the Sumerians in what is now modern-day southern Iraq during the fourth millennium BCE .
It is the oldest writing system in the worldâand as far as we know, the universe.
Researchers have long suspected that proto-cuneiform itself developed from ancient accounting methods.
Cylinder seals were also invented in Mesopotamia , and administrators used them to track mostly agricultural and textile trade starting in the mid-fourth millennium BCE . Researchers from the University of Bologna studied cylinder seal motifs found on fifth and fourth-millennium cylinder seals.
