Chapter 1470 Ancient Egyptian Rock Paintings
There are many kinds of pictographs, such as the word "wine", which is unitary without three points of water, just like a wine bottle without wine.
The character "日" is like a circle with a point in the middle, which is very similar to the shape people see when they look directly at the sun.
It is worth mentioning that the original shape of Chinese characters belongs to pictographs.
Although modern Chinese characters still retain the characteristics of pictographs, they are far from the original image after thousands of years of evolution.
Therefore, it does not belong to pictographs, but belongs to the morphological characters of the ideographic system.
In addition, the "head font" and "geometry" of the Mayan script are also.
However, hieroglyphs are very limited.
Because some physical things and abstract things cannot be drawn, its limitations become very large.
Therefore, based on pictographic characters, Chinese characters developed into phonetic characters, adding other methods of making characters.
For example, knowing, referring to things, phonetics, transcribing, and borrowing in six books.
However, these new character-making methods must still be based on the original pictographs.
It is mainly based on pictographic characters, which are formed by combining, subtracting or adding or deleting symbolic symbols.
The inscriptions on the palm-sized stone slab in front of him must be pictographs, but they are not at all like the oracle bone inscriptions Chen Wenzhe knew.
Needless to say, it is definitely not a domestic oracle bone inscription, and it seems that it was not unearthed in China.
However, this is still a pictograph, because the pictograph is still easy to recognize.
Moreover, Chen Wenzhe could tell that these hieroglyphs should be very ancient.
They are closer to ancient petroglyphs, while the redundancy is more like pictographs formed later.
However, these are indeed not petroglyphs, they should be text.
Of course, if you don't know how to do it, looking at this kind of thing is similar to looking at rock paintings.
After all, hieroglyphs are all developed from primitive pictures, no matter how they evolve, they remain the same.
Therefore, with Chen Wenzhe's knowledge, he can also see that these are pictographic characters.
"It's kind of like hieroglyphics in ancient Egypt."
Soon, Chen Wenzhe determined that this might be a stone tablet from ancient Egypt.
Because many such things have been unearthed in ancient Egypt before.
Especially the very old petroglyphs, many of which were unearthed in Egypt, and they are very close to the patterns on this stone slab.
The primitive petroglyphs of ancient Egypt are very old.
Although these rock paintings are not as old as European rock paintings, they have been handed down longer than Oceania rock paintings.
Even a lot of time, more than [-] years, is one of the regions with the longest rock art in the world.
It is not too difficult to determine where the petroglyphs are based on the differences in style and art, the color of the stone dirt, the types of animals represented, clothing and weapons, or the pictographs in that area.
For example, the rock paintings of ancient Egypt can be divided into four periods according to their styles.
The first is the ancient buffalo period, from about 9000 BC to 3500 BC.
The second stage is the period of herding bulls, from about 3500 BC to 1500 BC.
The third is the Ma period, from about 1500 BC to the 2nd century AD.
The fourth period is the camel period, which began around the 2nd century.
The division of these four periods is very distinctive, and directly determines the productivity and combat effectiveness at that time.
The Sahara petroglyphs in Africa are located in the Alger Plateau in the middle of the Sahara not far from the border between Algeria and Libya. It is recognized by scholars from all over the world as "the largest prehistoric art museum in the world".
In comparison, the hieroglyphs on the slate in Chen Wenzhe's hands are closest to African civilization.
However, hieroglyphics are fundamentally pictures.
Therefore, to really strictly distinguish them, they have similarities with rock paintings in other regions, or pictographs.
For example, the hieroglyphs in ancient Yinsan also originated from the development of pictures, and they are mainly distributed in the hilly area of the Vindia Mountains in the middle of Yinsan.
The oldest petroglyphs in the world can be traced back to the late Paleolithic period 2 years ago.
It can be found all over the world, and in different styles.
According to the style, Yinsan rock paintings can be roughly divided into naturalistic rock paintings, mainly depicting individual wild animals, with simple and realistic shapes.
Stylized petroglyphs began to extract lines from color blocks, using simple and thick lines to outline the outlines of people and animals.
Or a silhouette-style flat painting, combined with a thick line of light drawing.
Animals are more realistic, while characters are patterned and geometric.
Eclectic petroglyphs, mostly depicting horseback riding, elephant riding or walking and metal use.
The most important thing is that the ancients paid special attention to the wild animals they domesticated.
Therefore, regardless of the rock paintings or hieroglyphs in that area, animal shapes are indispensable.
For example, Dawenkou Culture, this cultural site is one of the important remains of the late Neolithic age.
It was named after it was first discovered at the Dawenkou site in Qilutai County. Its distribution range is close to the Bohai Sea in the north, Jiangsu and Anhui in the south, and the Nanhe River in the west.
From 4300 BC to around 2500 BC, the Longshan Culture developed.
The pottery of the Dawenkou culture has obvious characteristics, and the custom of tooth extraction in adolescence is prevalent among the residents.
The social economy of Dawenkou culture has developed to a relatively high level.
At least many of the inscribed symbols that have been discovered are considered to be the predecessors of pictographs.
From the animal bones unearthed later and the patterns on pottery and stone tools, it can be judged that half-picture pictures and pattern symbols appeared in our country ten thousand years ago.
Of course, there are also many petroglyphs and characters in the shape of animals.
Let's go back to the hieroglyphs of ancient Egypt. This is quite different from other hieroglyphs.
Even very ancient pictographs similar to petroglyphs have their own civilization characteristics.
Like ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, after tens of thousands of years of development of pictures and patterns, they were formed into a system around 4000 BC (6000 years ago).
In other words, the pictographs of this period broke away from rock paintings and became real characters, which are holy script characters.
It is the same as Sumerian, Guyin Sanwen and my country's oracle bone inscriptions, all independently produced from the simplest pictures and patterns in primitive society.
But this kind of writing was originally only a kind of pictorial writing, and it was later developed into pictographic writing.
Later Egyptian hieroglyphs consisted of three symbols: ideographic, phonetic and radical.
An ideogram is a concept or definition of something represented by a picture.
However, ideograms cannot represent the pronunciation of words, so the ancient Egyptians invented phonograms.
Phonetic symbols are also some graphics, and it has 24 consonants in total. On this basis, a large number of diphonic and triphonic sounds are formed.
For example, the mouth is a monophonic sound and pronounces the sound of "Y", the swallow is a double consonant sound and pronounces the sound of "Wr", the beetle is a triconic sound and pronounces the sound of "hpr" and so on.
But these pronunciations all express more than one meaning. In order to distinguish them, the ancient Egyptians invented radical symbols.
The role of this radical symbol is mainly to distinguish symbols of different categories, similar to the radical radicals in Chinese characters.
