Detailed explanation-1: -Cave drawings from 20, 000 years ago may feature an early form of writing. The sequences of dots, lines, and other shapes have been found in at least 400 locations throughout Europe. A cryptic group of markings found in caves throughout Europe possibly served as a pre-historic animal encyclopedia.
Detailed explanation-2: -Petroglyphs are rock carvings (rock paintings are called pictographs) made by pecking directly on the rock surface using a stone chisel and a hammerstone.
Detailed explanation-3: -Another ancient writing style, cuneiform, was used among Sumerian and Babylonian people around this same time. Unlike hieroglyphics, cuneiform used symbols that represented specific sounds instead of words or phrases.
