Today in class we basically reviewed what we read the night before. We talked about pictographs, petroglyphs, and ideographs and distinguished the difference between them all. We also went into some detail about Hammurabi and the hieroglyphics that the Egyptians used. Papyrus is one form of paper out of many that we have learned about so far. The most useful and meaningful thing I learned out of this class was about the papyrus. I find the making and usefulness of papyrus really interesting. The fact that they had to make their own writing utensils is impressive. And it might take days to make one sheet to write on.
One question I still have after this class would be who found the Rosetta Stone, and where was it found?
