pictographs then transformed
into sounds
First were written on stone then

paper
The Rosetta Stone: found by
the delta town of Rosetta in
1799 helped to break the code
of
Mummification
First, they draw out the brains through the
nostrils with an iron hook. . . . Then with a
sharp stone they make an incision in the side,
and take out all the bowels. . . . Then, having
filled the belly with pure myrrh, cassia, and
other perfumes, they sew it up again; and
when they have done this they steep it in
natron [a mineral salt], leaving it under for 70
days. . . . At the end of 70 days, they wash the
corpse, and wrap the whole body in bandages
of waxen cloth.
