Answer:

It's an old writing system from ancient Mesopotamia.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you check Wikipedia you'll see that cuneiform was a writing system from the sumerians. it comes from the Latin term that means wedge, which is kind of the tool they used back then to wedge shape clay pieces.
