Ancient Writing Possibly Oldest In Western Hemisphere

Archeologists have discovered what they believe to the oldest writing ever created by human hands in the west. The discovery came from Stephen Houston of Brown University in Rhode Island and his team while studying an ancient Olmec civilization in Veracruz, Mexico. If carbon dating proves accurate, the symbols were created 2,900 years before the nearest known sample of writing in western history.
