History of Scripts in the World
As the mother of sciences and ancient inventions, scripts have always carried the weight of transferring human cultures through all the past centuries. Scripts have played an effective role in protecting and expanding various sciences. The history of scripts date runs across the history of the man on the earth. One can assert that the human civilization began when scripts emerged in the actual sense. As of the history of human writings, it might be claimed that the first art of the primitive man began with scripts as a geometric concept. The first simple lines drawn aimlessly by the early man on the tools, handmade vessels or walls of the residential caves became more perfect in the course of time, gained some meanings and contributed to registering human thoughts
The early man created some images of animals, plants and human beings on the walls of his shelters. This stage could be regarded as the first step in registering the events and the relationship of the man with his external world. With the development of the civilization, these images gradually set the stage for the emergence of the first scripts. The first scripts were invented by civilizations of the Sumerians and Elamites which date back to the 4th and 3rd millennia B.C. These scripts were mainly a collection of images and events in the form of the pictographs. There were some symbols in these images to express actions and emotions
