It's cuneiform, for sure, modified to be cut into the stone with a long cut, and a short cut for the fat end of the wedge. I haven't seen known for sure to be authentic cuneiform inscriptions on stone done like this; the classic examples I've seen use proper wedges cut into the stone.
If one wanted to approximate cuneiform on a stone, using a rotating cutting wheel, this is probably the easiest way.
