Cuneiform

http://www.wsu.edu/~dee/GLOSSARY/CUNEI.HTM
I found this website and
it teach me something.It
is about Mesopotamia.The
cuneiform of it.And it also
told me how they wrote
the words.They wrote on
clay tablets with long reeds
when it was still wet.When
it get dry,the words can be
save.Also,their words som-
etimes means like alphabet,
but sometimes it means a
whole meaning.Very inter-
esting,huh?

yes interesting how they combined a "phonetic alphabet" based on sound with "pictographs" that meant things like in Chinese. Cool site.
