Good thing that Sewasew (Seshat), the woman who invented ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic writing, was smarter than that.

I am researching the older civilizations and the elevated status of women before the age of imperialism. How Egypt changed from its early periods shows aspects of this transition to patriarchal social structure, increased class oppression, etc. Even earlier writing than Egyptian is known from Old Europe, in which societies women were preeminent. Clearly Sumerian writing was affected by that script. There was trade with predynastic Egypt, but it is unknown if Vincan writing had an effect on the development of writing in Egypt. [/QB][/QUOTE]
