ANSWER: The first findings point towards 4000 B.C. in Messopotamia (modern day Iraq). The original Messopotamian writing system was called cuneiform and it was created as a method of keeping accounts of sales, fees and charges. The way that this writing form was created was by using a triangular-shaped stylus pressed into soft clay for recording numbers. Later on the need to document what was being counted led to the creation of pictographic writing (using images to depict words, such as Egyptian hieroglyphic). This evolution led to further to the creaton of syllabic and pholetic alphabets around 2900B.C., which now they did not depict pictures, but sound-phonetic elements, such as Summerian, Phoenycian, Greek and Latin.
