Ancient Cuneiform Spreadsheet

Before man was, Excel waited for him. The ultimate art awaiting its ultimate practitioner. Apparently there were cuneiform spreadsheets Truly nothing new under the sun lol

A screenshot shows a social media exchange joking that Excel is an ancient human invention, illustrated by a clay tablet covered in cuneiform markings arranged like a spreadsheet. The punchline is that bureaucratic tabulation existed thousands of years ago, so modern spreadsheets are not truly new. People send it as a reaction to jokes about Excel, paperwork, accounting, or ancient technology.
