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.
It took the Sumerian scribes many hundreds of years to develop their system of writing. Their initial picture writings were clumsy and confusing. Soon their signs began to stand for words rather than objects. Pictures changed into wedge-shaped marks, which formed sentences when placed in a series, i.e. cuneiform.n addition to the similar biblical accounts of God s creation, the ancient Sumerians detailed writings contain The Paradise Myth, The Gardener s Mortal Sin, and Lord of Eridu s estrangement of one language (Tower of Babel).
