Text
Definition: A book or other written or printed work, regarded in term of its content rather than its physical form.
Origins/Timeline: It is generally agreed that true writing of language was invented independently in at least two places:Mesopotamia around 3200 BCE and Mesoamerica around 600 BCE. Several Mesoamerican scripts are known, the oldest being from the Olmec or Zapotec of Mexico.
It is debated whether writing systems were developed completely independently in Egypt around 3200 BCE and in Chinaaround 1200 BCE, or whether the appearance of writing in either or both places was due to cultural diffusion (i.e. the concept of representing language using writing, if not the specifics of how such a system worked, was brought by traders from an already-literate civilization).
