Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -We believe Sumerian civilization first took form in southern Mesopotamia around 4000 BCE-or 6000 years ago-which would make it the first urban civilization in the region. Mesopotamians are noted for developing one of the first written scripts around 3000 BCE: wedge-shaped marks pressed into clay tablets.
Detailed explanation-2: -Cuneiform writing was used for over 3, 000 years. The Sumerians seem to have first developed cuneiform for the mundane purposes of keeping accounts and records of business transactions, but over time it blossomed into a full-fledged writing system used for everything from poetry and history to law codes and literature.
