Blogging is one of the discoveries that changed the face of history and transferred our knowledge of the history of ancient Iraq from the talismans of assumptions in prehistoric times (the stone ages) to the historical ages This happened in the so-called proto literate or the proto-historic role.

As the Sumerians wrote down the first letter in the Sumerian city of Warka, in southern Mesopotamia, approximately 3500 BC.

After the Sumerian man took advantage of nature in the south and used its soil to make the clay figure (tablet), which he wrote on it by pressing a piece of papyrus reed with a triangular head, bone or wood.

As a result of the use of such a head for the reed, the writing became like nails, so the writing was called cuneiform, which is a Latin designation from the term (cuneus) meaning (nail) and (form) meaning (form.( The cuneiform notation was not initially discovered in this way, and it did not reach its final stage directly, but rather went through several stages: the pictographic stage, then the symbolic Ideogram, and finally the phonetic stage.

As for the direction in which it was written, it was from top to bottom, and then it became written from left to right.

As for how to solve the cuneiform line, the steps of that lasted for a long period of time in which many travelers, amateurs and foreign archaeologists made strenuous efforts to find out their secrets and how to read them.

As a result of this discovery, Assyriology was declared a science taught in international institutes and universities.

Blogging in this line can be used for tourism marketing today.
