Clay Activity

Sumerians are believed to have the oldest written langauge where the writing is mainly in pictographs. The earliest forms of Mesopotamian script dates back as early as 8000 BCE where cuneiform tablets were used for some kind of record keeping.
The Mesopotamian boys started as young as 12 when they became scribes. They were trained to write cuneiform and record many of the languages spoken in Mesopotamia. The students watched a video on how to write on the tablets. While the ancient Mesopotamians used a stylus to scribe, our students used clay and a chopstick to inscribe their wiritng on the tablets.
