Pictograms

Pictograms are pictures that mean exactly what you see. For example if there is a pictogram of a dog then it means just that a dog. They represent objects by illustration. Pictograms are the basis of cuneiform and hieroglyphs. The earliest pictograms used in Mesopotamia are dated back to predate 3400 BC. Pictograms are still used today mostly as roadway signs. Pictograms is the simpler term for Mdw Ntr.
