    I mean, are our chicken scratches that different from their arrows and dots? They’re symbols that represent other ideas. Seems fairly straightforward to me.

      Our phoenician method is wayyyy more legible than cuneiform. They have super complex rules that like later stuff and lines can change the meaning of previous scribbles.

      I love cuneiform though. It’s just so pretty.
