Egyptian hieroglyphics and Mesopotamian cuneiform are both ancient writing systems, but they differ in form and function. Hieroglyphics use pictorial symbols to represent sounds, words, or concepts and were primarily used for religious texts and monumental inscriptions. In contrast, cuneiform, developed by the Sumerians, involves wedge-shaped marks made on clay tablets and served a broader range of purposes, including administrative, legal, and literary texts. Additionally, hieroglyphics evolved into a complex system with both logographic and alphabetic elements, while cuneiform primarily represented syllables and ideas.
