The text is also useful in that it provides a more precise (although specialized) definition of the concept: any cognitive situation in which the threat of inconsistency confronts us (1).
Cuneiform script is one of the earliest known forms of written expression. Emerging in Sumer around the 3,000 B.C, with predecessors reaching into the late 4th millennium (the Uruk IV period), cuneiform writing began as a system of pictographs.he VinÄa symbols, or signs, also known as the VinÄa alphabet, VinÄa-TurdaÅ script, or Old European script, are a set of symbols found on prehistoric artifacts from southeastern Europe. A few scholars believe they constitute a writing system of the VinÄa culture.
The earliest writing systems evolved independently and at roughly the same time in Egypt and Mesopotamia, but current scholarship suggests that Mesopotamiaâs writing appeared first. That writing system, invented by the Sumerians, emerged in Mesopotamia around 3500 BCE. At first, this writing was representational: a bull might be represented by a picture of a bull, and a pictograph of barley signified the word barley.
