The idea to just put down thoughts to things other than your head, was just wild. They had to come up with symbols to represent their ideas. Those symbols had to mean the same thing to ALL the people in their group. They needed established collective thoughts. Freakin' crazy.
You forgot to mention how we managed to translate the Cuniform tables from Mesopotamia. They were during the 19th and 20th century many scholars, who studied many old sites and ruins of the ancient Near East that would, thanks to people like Sir Henry Rawlingson and Georg Friedrich Grotefend and many others discover the way to properly translate these old Cuniform Languages( They were more cultures than people think who used Cuneiform, like the Elamites, Hurrians, Hittites, Assyrians and Old Persian). This one site that would change the course of Humanity's understanding of its history and ability to decipher Cuniform was none other than the Bushitun Inscription, the Cuniform Equivalent of the Rosetta stone. It was a relief made by the Persian King Darius I the great, which tells the story of his Family and victory o er the King Gautama(Smerdis for Hellenists) the magian, who pretended to be Cambysis's brother bardija and became king of the Acheamenid empire until he was usurped by Darrius I, who gave us this piece of art. He wrote it in 3 different languages, one his Native language Old Persian, then in Elamite and one in Babylonian(Or Akkadian?)which all contained the same text in different columns. After they discovered that the Old Persian text was different from the other text, since it was alphabetic and similar to the modern and Middle persian, he could decipher it and with the help of other scholars, the Babylonian and akkadian languages were translated thanks to newer discoveries of tablets and comparison to semetic languages which in the end gave a nearly identical translation of the inscription in Old Persian. The Sumerian and Elamite languages were language Isolates and needed to be translated via comparisons with other languages from their surrounding neighbours like the akkadian, Hittite and Old Persian languages. I wished you video would have handled it, because the overfocus of Greek,Norse and Egyptian history/Mythology is very limiting.
Egyptian proto-hyrogliphs have been found at Abydos that predate Cuneiform. The oldest cuneiform tablet found dated to 3,400 BC by that time these proto glyphs in egypt were more advanced each glyph is a individual sound like our writing, in contrast to Cuneiform which the triangular etchings put together make phrases or sentences. Apparently this is less advanced.
I think you are ignoring the oldest of them all, Which predates the Sumerians by two thousand years. The Thracian Runes, is the oldest writings discovered so far. Please look into it, there is sufficient arch logical evidence already
You can't mention Mesopotamia without mentioning their lightning-fast trade with Indus Valley civilisation. which had some form of government as all the cities we're planned and similar to each other in a way that only a well-planned and systematic government could do. with brick roads and sewage system. Which could only be second after the greeks and Romans.cities much after there time?

Yep, probably just showing it as an example of a clay tablet
Ah that makes sense. Could be a little confusing for others though since the video is about cuneiform and hieroglyphs.
