It focuses on the independent invention of writing in at least four different places in the Old world and Mesoamerica with the earliest texts of Uruk, Mesopotamia (5,300 BC) shown in the United States for the first time. Visitors to the exhibit and readers of this catalog can see and compare the parallel pathways by which writing came into being and was used by the earliest kingdoms of Mesopotamia, Egypt, China, and the Maya world. 410 0$aOriental Institute Museum publications ;$vno. 32. 606 $aWriting$zMiddle East$xHistory$vExhibitions 606 $aEgyptian language$xWriting$xHistory$vExhibitions 606 $aCuneiform writing$xHistory$vExhibitions 606 $aPicture-writing$xHistory$vExhibitions 606 $aWriting$xHistory$vExhibitions 606 $aE?gyptien (Langue)$3(CaQQLa)201-0022714$xE?criture$3(CaQQLa)201-0022714$xHistoire$3(CaQQLa)201-0378888$vExpositions$3(CaQQLa)201-0378191 606 $aE?criture cune?iforme$3(CaQQLa)201-0009313$xHistoire$3(CaQQLa)201-0378888$vExpositions$3(CaQQLa)201-0378191 606 $aE?criture$3(CaQQLa)201-0086341$xHistoire$3(CaQQLa)201-0086341$vExpositions$3(CaQQLa)201-0378191 606 $aCuneiform writing$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00885203 606 $aEgyptian language$xWriting$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00903957 606 $aPicture-writing$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01063814 606 $aWriting$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01181638 607 $aMiddle East$2fast 608 $aExhibition catalogs.$2fast 608 $aExhibition catalogs.$2lcgft 608 $aHistory.$2fast 615 0$aWriting$xHistory 615 0$aEgyptian language$xWriting$xHistory 615 0$aCuneiform writing$xHistory 615 0$aPicture-writing$xHistory 615 0$aWriting$xHistory 615 6$aE?gyptien (Langue)$xE?criture$xHistoire 615 6$aE?criture cune?iforme$xHistoire 615 6$aE?criture$xHistoire 615 7$aCuneiform writing. 615 7$aEgyptian language$xWriting. 615 7$aPicture-writing. 615 7$aWriting. 676 $a411.7 702 $aWoods$b Christopher$f1968- 702 $aEmberling$b Geoff 702 $aTeeter$b Emily 712 02$aUniversity of Chicago.$bOriental Institute.$bMuseum. 801 0$bWAU 801 1$bWAU 801 2$bCUS 801 2$bCGU 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bOCLCF 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bSFB 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bOCLCO 801 2$bUBY 912 $a9910735901303321 996 $aVisible language$92374877 997 $aUNINA
