Explanation:

Writing was first introduced by the Mesopotamia Civilisation. The system was a combination of different signs and shapes engraved on a tablet. The first use of this writing was done for recording crops. Mesopotamia’s most popular crop was barley which was represented as a drawing of a stick figure crop.
