This is the 5th short showing human history. The others are: The Dawn of Man, Man Discovers Fire, The (almost) Invention of Agriculture, and Mesopotamia (first civilization). Just click keyword: History Shorts for the others.
Today’s Episode: Writing is discovered. Writing led to record keeping, legal codes, written stories and myths, and history.
Since I could not really find anything showing someone actually writing things down, I chose this clip. It recounts the Epic of Gilgamesh and demonstrates how stories were passed on before writing.
