Most people think that the earliest writing used by man started in ancient Egypt. But their neighbours, the Mesopotamians, may have the credit for creating the first written word. Learn how these two civilizations developed what was one of the most important early inventions, and how it later evolved into an alphabet more familiar to us today.
