Answer 1

The Egyptian Hieroglyphs is among the old writing system in the world. Unlike its contemporary cuneiform Sumerian, Egyptian Hieroglyph's origin is much more obscure. There is no identifiable precursor. It was once thought that the origin of Egyptian Hieroglyphs are religious and historical, but recent developments could point to an economical impetus for this script as well as push back the time depth of this writing system.

Answer 2

The correct answer is letter b, cuneiform.

Step-by-step explanation:

This system was first designed around 3500 BC in Mesopotamia. Cuneiform writing was invented by ancient Sumerians, according to Ancient History Encyclopedia. Cuneiform writing was done with a stylus, which was pressed into a piece of soft clay in order to "write" pictographs that represented words. Even it was created by them, Sumerians were not the only ones to use this system: Assyrians, Babylonians, and Akkadians could be counted among the users of cuneiform writing.
