 #AES #Bitcoin §31 Single-Entry Ledger: Cuneiform
Cuneiform is a method of writing once used in the ancient Middle East. The wedge-shaped stylus was pushed into a soft clay tablet and dried, perhaps in the sun. The clay tablet created an immutable record. Cuneiform is the oldest form of writing in the world, appearing earlier than Egyptian hieroglyphics and lasting about three thousand years.
