Writing "Hieroglyphs are a picture of an object standing for a word, idea or sound used by the ancient Egyptians. There are over 700 hieroglyphic symbols. For example, the hieroglyph for "writing" or "scribe" is formed as a brush pigment bag, and a palette. For everyday work scribes used a more joined-up version like handwriting. It is called hieratic and it was written quickly." from Ancient Egyptian Writing
"The symbolism and iconography of writing systems found throughout the ancient world are fascinating, but none more than those that evolved in ancient Mesoamerica." from GB Online's Mesoamerica Ancient Mesoamerican Writing."
