Writing
Written on 8:11 AM by Melcolm
One of the cave man's first inventions was the handy sharpened stone, the all-purpose skinning and killing tool. This later adapted into the first writing instrument, which was used to keep records of hunting trips. Cave men also scratched pictures with the stone tools onto the walls of their caves. Most of the cave drawings represented events that happened in daily life such as hunting victories or planting.
The Egyptians however created symbols to express their writing.. Here are some examples of the meanings of Egyptian writing symbols
