Answer:

The correct answer is is the Sumerian culture

Step-by-step explanation:

They took hunks of wet clay and made pens out of a reed sliver and pressed Cuneiform writing into it. The beginning of Cuneiform was to keep track of what they traded. Hope this helps

The oldest writing system known is the Sumerian cuneiform. Its origin may be traced back to about 8,000 BC. The system includes the pictograph and symbols for most of the goods. They made small tokens out of clays to represent these items. The clays were used to seal envelopes and other documents.
