Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Writing in ancient Mesopotamia arose from necessity-specifically, the need to keep records. Gradually, civilization in the Tigris-Euphrates River Valley became more urbanized. Eventually, a number of complex systems developed: political, military, religious, legal, and commercial.
Detailed explanation-2: -The materials used in cuneiform-clay and reeds-were both readily available. Reeds were used as writing implements. The tip of a reed stylus was impressed into a wet clay surface to draw the strokes of the sign-thus acquiring a “wedge-shaped” appearance.
