Among the instruments that archaeologists have found and who belong to the prehistoric period are various types of flutes, whistles and pipes of wood and animal bones, etc. The prehistoric period is characteristic of the paintings on the walls as a form of expression, then of primitive music on the mentioned instruments, but this period is not characteristic of writing on clay tablets. The earliest known instruments from that period date back to 25,000 years ago. The oldest written documents on clay tablets come from the Sumerian civilization and date back about 8,000 years ago. So the earliest written records, as well as music records on clay tablets, do not belong to the prehistoric period.

This statement is false.
