Sumerian scribes simplified these pictographs into symbols that were easier to press into wet clay.

All alphabets used today evolved from this one set of symbols. ]]> 2017-09-29 20:30:12 UTC https://padlet.com/24mckinstryar/amas2017/wish/192611630 https://padlet.com/24mckinstryar/amas2017/wish/192618054 During 3500 B.C Sumerians recorded information by pressing wedge shaped marks into clay.
