Ancient symbols are often referred to as glyphs or pictograms, depending on their specific characteristics and cultural context. These symbols were used in various ancient writing systems, such as hieroglyphics in Egypt or cuneiform in Mesopotamia, to convey messages or represent ideas. Additionally, they can also be categorized as ideograms or logograms when they represent concepts or words rather than sounds.
