The connection between Egyptian hieroglyphics and present icons

Each clan and tribe chooses an animal or natural object that it believes to have a special and mysterious relationship with it as a special mark of the clan or tribe. At first, people engraved totems on the living ground and labor tools. Later, they were used as symbols of wars and sacrifices to icons in the contemporary mobile phone software.

Whether in ancient or modern times, icons symbolize a language that is direct and visible. Because the common ground resonated with ancient and modern humans at that time. As early as in ancient Egypt, people thought that the earth was round. The sun’s pattern had four lines, which seemed to release light. Then look at the edit in the App “Facetune”. The brightness adjustment is related to the shape of the sun, because the sun Is the light source in the universe.

Egyptian hieroglyphics:

Facetune:

Some icons look very simple, I think they are quasi-materialized. Also, other photo editing software has the same icon. But there are different styles in different software, and everyone maintains consistency because this is the inertial thinking of users. For example, when we go to the toilet, there is a high heeled shoe and a smoking pipe at the door. We can easily contact women wearing high heels and men smoking cigars. This is a kind of inertial thinking or objectification of gender.

Every language is a living species, just like Egyptian hieroglyphics is only suitable for the environment at that time because we can’t understand it now. When this era disappears, he also disappears, but he is inherited like human beings, and we create new ones from it, but we can always find the original pattern.

  1. I like you idea that every language is a living species, just like Egyptian hieroglyphics is only suitable for the environment at that time because we can’t understand it now. When this era disappears, he also disappears, but he is inherited like human beings, and we create new ones from it, but we can always find the original pattern.

  2. Overall your points would be stronger without the first paragraph – which had me thinking you were going to be talking about Native American symbols but then suddenly you were discussing Egyptian hieroglyphics.

  3. I think your statement that every language has its place within the respected time period and not being fully deciphered centuries later down the road due to lost or undiscovered archives. I would have to disagree when you say when an era disappears, it is lost forever. I think languages are formed with the integration from past or previous languages used as a building block to create new ones.

    1. I think Egyptian hieroglyphics has indeed disappeared and I didn’t say it lost forever, as if we will not use Egyptian hieroglyphics anymore. It’s really just not suitable for this era,but like I said, the current language is like a human being. It belongs to this era and inherits the culture of the past, like a baby separated from the mother. It has its own things,Will create new things belongs to this new era, and also inherits the original DNA. .
