Symbolic Communication
The earliest recorded permanent human communication is cave painting, dating to 33,000BCE. Written communication emerged in Sumer, the southern part of Mesopotamia (now Iraq), using a script called Cuneiform, written on clay tablets. It was used primarily for accounting. The Sumerians are responsible for our common use of base twelve. Twelve hours in a day, inches in a foot, and notes in the scale; all stem from their civilization.

Although not the first to write stories, the Greeks perfected the dramatic forms we use today: poetry, prose and plays. Watch an episode of 'Law and Order' and you are seeing a direct descendant of a Greek tragedy, complete with suffering and justice denied. All this permanent thought art is made possible by the translation of ideas into symbols.

Chinese Traditional and Simplified
Some scripts have interesting quirks. Ancient Hebrew, although phonetic, is a script where vowels are omitted. Modern Hebrew often leaves them out as well. This means words can be ambiguous and need context to decipher them. A common set of Chinese characters has long been used by Mandarin, Cantonese, and Japanese speakers even though
