🚀 Breaking news: Someone invented a #font for programmers who think more #symbols = more skills. Because clearly, what the world needs right now is a typeface that resembles an alien language 🤖. Who needs readable code when you can have hieroglyphics? 🙃

The Rosetta Stone, on display at the British Museum. It has a message written in three different ways (hieroglyphs, Egyptian demotic and Greek), and so helped linguists decipher hieroglyphs.

40,000-Year-Old Symbols Found in Caves Worldwide May Be the Earliest Written Language

We may take it for granted that the earliest writing systems developed with the Sumerians around 3400 B.C.E. The archaeological evidence so far supports the theory. But it may also be possible that the earliest writing systems predate 5000-year-old cuneiform tablets by several thousand years.

Eternal Expressions

Hieroglyphics and statues were not mere artifacts—they were Egypt’s testimony against time. From rigid depictions of divine order to individualized portraits of wisdom, these forms carried memory and spirit. On Poetic Bipolar Mind, I see writing as a similar practice: a modern hieroglyph, preserving lived experience against silence and forgetting.

When is art "finished"? For me, the answer seems to be never. I love reincarnating older works into something new. A fresh presentation of my Colorful Beetle!
