As a way to understanding pictures and understanding the stories that the ancient Chinese were telling their younger ones.

That is when they started drawing the symbols and then,a while later,becoming pictographs!

What are the differences between cuneiform and pictographs?

Well, pictographs are math. Cuneiform is one of the oldest kinds of writing. It is - contrary to pictographs - also an abstract form of writing: the horizontal and vertical 'scratches' do not form a picture of the meaning of the words. With pictographs, their meaning (or part of it) is reflected by the drawing that is made for each word.
