What are the scripts of Mesopotamia?
Dear Student
The Cuneiform is script of Mesopotamia .The tablets were used first which were known as proto-cuneiform, were pictorial.They represented the subjects which were more concrete and visible like a king, a battle, a flood etc.
With time it developed in complexity as the subject matter became more intangible taken into the consideration will of the gods, the quest for immortality. With time the representations were more simplified and the strokes of the stylus conveyed word-concepts (honour) rather than word-signs (an honourable man).
The written format refined through the rebus which isolated the phonetic value of a certain sign so as to express grammatical relationships and syntax to determine meaning.
