The Mesopotamian type of writing was cuneiform, which consists of wedge shaped symbols or clusters of symbols that represent words, things, etc. in other words, a type of alphabet. The Egyptian hieroglyphics were straight pictures or symbols, a type of picture writing.
the Egypytian writting is called Hieroglyphic
No. The Rosetta Stone allowed scholars to understand Egyptian Hieroglyphics.
From what I understand, they are very different - the Egyptian hieroglyphics were actual pictures that represented emotion, or a physical thing. An eagle represented the bird, but also flying. The cuneiform technique was created by pressing a tool into clay to create symbols. so I would say that the Egyptians were more advanced at that time. Great question. Anyone else know?
