The earliest signs of the use of Pi was in the designs of the Old Kingdom pyramids in Egypt. Many divide the history of Pi into three periods: The ancient period during which Pi was studied in a geometrical manner, the classical era when Pi was fully developed after the creation of calculus in the 17th century and, most recently, the age of digital computers.
The history of pi dates back to ancient civilizations, such as the Babylonians and Egyptians, who approximated the value of pi. The first accurate calculation of pi was made by the Greek mathematician Archimedes in the 3rd century BC. The symbol for pi was introduced by the Welsh mathematician William Jones in the 18th century, and it has since become one of the most important mathematical constants in mathematics.

Pi was created by Ancient Egyptians in 1706. Hope that helps! (:

Additional mathematics is also called PI and was used in Ancient Egyptian civilizations. Pi helped the Egyptians plan the construction of the pyramids.
People from ancient civilizations knew about the value of pi but as it was then as it is now the exact value of pi has never been conclusively found because it is an irrational number.
No, cuneiform is an ancient system of writing that was primarily used by the ancient civilizations of Mesopotamia. It is no longer in use today but is studied by scholars for historical and linguistic purposes.
Ancient civilizations in Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, and China are known to have independently studied astronomy. However, the Greek philosopher Thales is often credited as one of the first significant figures to study astronomy systematically.
Among all the Ancient Civilizations you have treated in this course, which of the Ancient Civilizations do yo like most, Why
It was studied in the home, in temples, and in the ancient Agora.
Ancient civilizations knew that there was a fixed ratio of circumference to diameter that was approximately equal to three. The Greeks refined the process and Archimedes is credited with the first theoretical calculation of Pi. In 1761 Lambert proved that Pi was irrational, that is, that it can't be written as a ratio of integer numbers. In 1882 Lindeman proved that Pi was transcendental, that is, that Pi is not the root of any algebraic equation with rational coefficients. This discovery proved that you can't "square a circle", which was a problem that occupied many mathematicians up to that time. (More information on squaring the circle.)
