I notice it said he is credited with the invention or writing. Who and where is he credited? Is there a tablet you can link to? The only other person I read of with reputation of inventing writing is Enoch the Metatron whom the muslims and some Jews believe invented it, he would correspond to a far earlier king. En-men-dur-ana. I love reading this stuff so any sources you got would be awesome. his whole thing is so fascinating.

Anon, as the article states, it is not Meskianggasher, but Meskianggasher's son Enmerkar who is credited with the invention of cuneiform, in Enmerkar and the Lord of Aratta. For other real or mythical people credited with inventing writing systems, please see Category:Inventors of writing systems. Til Eulenspiegel (talk) 12:02, 4 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
