Question

What form of writing did the city of Babylon use in 450 BC?

Answer 1

They used cuneiform (pronounced q-nee-a-form). This was a system of writing that employed various box-like shapes to be engraved onto tablets. It is thought, though debated, to be the basis of the Phoenician alphabet which is the earliest recognizable ancestor of Western communication systems.
