Zapotec Writing is an ancient script used by the Zapotec civilization in what is now Oaxaca, Mexico. This writing system dates back to around 500 BCE and is one of the earliest forms of writing in Mesoamerica. It consists of logograms, which are symbols representing words or phrases, and was primarily used for recording important events, rituals, and administrative matters. The Zapotecs developed their writing system alongside their impressive architectural achievements, such as the site of Monte Albán. Archaeologists have discovered inscriptions on monuments and pottery, providing valuable insights into their culture, history, and social organization. The script reflects the complexity of Zapotec society and its contributions to the development of writing in the region.
