> the pyramids/hieroglyphics were a gift from aliens....and I believe it. Hieroglyphs a gift from aliens? Okay.....so first thing is, no one in Egypt wrote or did basic commerce or record keeping in hieroglyphs. All common writing was hieratic, not hieroglyphic. Wouldn't it make infinitely more sense for the "gift" to be the actual language that was used? Also, you're telling me a species smart enough to figure out interstellar travel thought the best system of writing to bequeath as a gift was one based on linear logographic script? Something we, who are yet to leave our home planet, abandoned centuries ago due to it's constraints? Bruh, I think you were just fucked up on entheogens. It's an amazingly more simply and probably answer. Just gonna go out a limb with that one.
