GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

Detailed explanation-1: -Cuneiform is one of the oldest forms of writing known. It means “wedge-shaped, ‘’ because people wrote it using a reed stylus cut to make a wedge-shaped mark on a clay tablet. Letters enclosed in clay envelopes, as well as works of literature, such as the Epic of Gilgamesh have been found.

Detailed explanation-2: -The text was written in Akkadian cuneiform, the written language of the conquerors of the Sumerians, which was undeciphered until the mid-1800s. An Assyrian scribe holding a stylus and clay tablet records objects taken from a defeated city.

Detailed explanation-3: -The training itself consisted of copying out existing texts, starting with lists of simple words and graduating to more complex ones and then to legal and literary texts; this was done with a stylus cut from a reed, which formed the basic shapes of words in cuneiform (Latin for “wedge-shaped").
