Very Reliable: The Internet Showed How the Ancient Sumerians Could Write on Clay Tablets (2 photos + 1 video)
The Sumerian civilization is considered one of the first in human history to actively use the new writing system. It was cuneiform and its technology that allowed recording various moments in the lives of ancient people. 
The footage shows an unknown person filming the cuneiform technique: in his left hand he holds a clay tablet, which is neatly marked with horizontal lines. While in his right hand the unknown person holds a stick, probably wooden, which has the shape of a cube or parallelepiped at the top. 
Thanks to the force of pressing on the surface and turning the stick, it is possible to obtain one or another corresponding symbol. Now it is impossible to know exactly when and where exactly these frames were filmed.
At the same time, in the comments, most users noted that the technique shown in the video, in its results, looks "very reliable" if you compare known artifacts with the results of the unknown.
The following comments were noted by the users most:
"Quite primitive, but effective!";
"I look at these marks and think - either the Sumerians really were stupid, or I don't understand something?";
"I imagined this guy writing in cuneiform in clothes six thousand years ago and speaking Sumerian, lol";
"I wonder if there is a difference between writing with a wooden stick and a copper one? Just curious";
"It seems he wrote the letters A, S and L. What will he write next?".
Cuneiform in Mesopotamia
Paleographers and archaeologists believe that cuneiform was one of the first versions of proto-writing that existed in the territory of Mesopotamia between the beginning of the third millennium BC and the beginning of the 1st century AD. During this time, the writing system underwent significant changes - from images to phonography (writing a phoneme or group of phonemes).
Until the beginning of the 19th century, scientists and archaeologists could not translate texts that were written in cuneiform. Only after the beginning of the 19th century, the German researcher Georg Grotefend was able to find the key to deciphering cuneiform texts for the first time.
It is known that the cuneiform system was inherent in the languages of a number of states that were located on the territory of Mesopotamia - Sumer, the Akkadian Kingdom, the Assyrian Kingdom and Ancient Persia. The total number of finds that were written in cuneiform already amounts to more than 500 thousand.
