Cuneiform is the oldest kind of writing that we know of. It was first used by the Sumerians around 3000 BC. It was written on clay with a tool made from a reed[disambiguation needed] called a stylus. Cuneiform is a wedge-shaped character made with a reed stylus and were used in writing several ancient languages. They are quite similar to pictography.
