>>20343026Why do you call me "ahmed" that is strange. Mesopotamia or the Fertile Crescent was the Birthplace of Civilization. The Anu Ziggurat is dated to 4000 BC, though Egyptian civilization and the Djoser Pyramid is dated to around 3000 BC.
Am not debating the origins of writing itself, just the structures. If there is debate over the archeological origins of Egyptian writing I'm not surprised, much of ancient and pre-history is debated with a lot of unknowns.
It is true that cuneiform and hieroglyphics developed independently, and it is plausible that both arised independently around the same time.
