What have recently been found in Egypt could be the 
earliest known writings. The clay tablets have been 
carbon dated to between 3300 BC and 3200 BC. This 
discovery will upset the belief commonly held by 
historians that the first people to write were the 
Sumerians of Mesopotamia, in about 3000 BC. Most 
of the tablets were found in the tomb of a king called 
Scorpion, south of Cairo. The writings in the form of 
line drawings of animals, plants and mountains are 
on clay tablets barely bigger than postage stamps. 
They have been deciphered as records of linen and 
oil delivered to King Scorpion I. Thus it seems that 
man's first writings were not a creative outpouring
