中文注释:这是建于公元5世纪的Ti墓,位于埃及的塞加拉。墓室壁画描写的是跪着的书记员,他们正在计算小麦,壁画上面的部分描写的则是正在和面的面包师。这些壁画记录了象形文字(或者说符号标记)是如何逐渐可以记录时间地点人物等细节信息的。作者: Kenneth Garrett
塞加拉 埃及 图片故事:注:象形文字(Hieroglyphic)是指纯粹利用图形来作文字使用,而这些文字又与所代表的东西形状上很相像。象形字源自图画文字,但是图画性质减弱,象征性质增强,它是一种最原始的造字方法。约5000年前,古埃及人发明了一种图形文字--圣书体。圣书体写起来既慢又很难看懂,大约在3400年前,埃及人用一种写得较快并且较易使用的字体代替了圣书体。高清壁纸:英文注释:Tomb of Ti, Saqqara, Egypt, 1995 A wall relief from the fifth-century Tomb of Ti in Saqqara, Egypt, depicts kneeling scribes counting grains of wheat, and, above them, bakers mixing vessels of dough. Hieroglyphs, or picture symbols, were probably developed to add detailed information, such as time, place, and identity, to existing pictorial representations.
