Explanation:

The earliest examples of writing known anywhere in the world are from Sumer and date to around 3200 BC. The first Sumern writing used simplified pictures called pictograms which represented objects. Gradually, these pictograms were made more abstract and developed into a form of writing known as cuneiform which used wedge-shapes to form symbols. In later cuneiform there were more than 600 symbols which could be used to write very efficiently. Cuneiform script spread from Sumer and eventually was used to write around fifteen different languages in ancient Iraq and other parts of the Middle East down to the 1st century AD.

What the tablet says

Most writing from ancient Mesopotamia is on clay tablets. Damp clay was formed into a flat tablet. The writer used a stylus made from a stick or reed to impress the symbols

in the clay, then left the tablet in the air to harden. This tablet is marked with symbols showing quantities of barley rations for workers.
