CHAPTER SEVEN

PUBLICATION OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL REPORTS

The abundance of archaeological reports’ publications give great information, not only about the artifacts uncovered in Egypt, but also provides evidence about two important facts. First, the obvious influence of Mesopotamia in Egyptian Predynastic art that later transcended into pictorial symbols and religious concepts. Second, the incredible exchange of material between the two regions, indicating an early parallel development of social complexity and two independent writing systems. Originally, either by marking tokens or by marking pots and subsequently, proto- signs, these writing systems of Mesopotamia and Egypt were able to express and represent, in their extent, their two languages in two completely different scripts and alphabets: cuneiform in Mesopotamia and Hieroglyphs in Egypt.
