What system of writing did they use in ancient Africa?

The ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphs were one of the writing systems but the writing systems of Africa refer to the current and historical practice of writing systems on the African continent, both indigenous and those introduced. There are writings systems of Africa that are very well known and some that aren't. Some of these writing systems may date back to the BCE era. One of the more famous is the Meiotic system of writing dating all the way back to 700 BCE to 500 A.D., this mysterious script which scholars are still trying decipher also gave rise to the Old Nubian Script which was used in the Nubian Middle Age period. Ancient Africa has the world's oldest and largest collection of ancient writing systems. Evidence of such dates to pre-historic time, and can be found in various regions of the continent. By contrast, Europe's oldest writing, Greek was not in use until c. 1400 BC and is largely derived from older African scripts. The oldest Asian writing, cuneiform dates to the reign of Judea of Lagash (2144 - 2124 BC).
