Inference: Indus valley civilisation

1. Archaeologists discovered well-planned cities with wide roads and burnt-brick multi-story houses. They also found a public bath with small rooms surrounding it and an intricate drainage system here, as well as in other parts of Gujarat, Rajasthan and Punjab. These changed everything we thought we knew about our ancestors and even pushed back Indian history.

2. An enigmatic find was made by scholars at these locations. It has been discovered of 'seals' with vivid engravings of animals, birds and humans, as well as odd bits of pictorial writing.

Inference: Chinese picture writings

1. It is believed that Fu-si developed the Chinese script around 2850 BC, and Tsang Chi, a minister to the Imperial ruler, give it a definitive form around 2700 B.C.. He is said to have drawn the shape of a tortoise after watching it one day. He also drew pictures of people, animals, birds, fish, snakes, and other things like that. For inspiration, he even looked at the sand and other surfaces for their footprints and bird claw-marks. He also drew larger objects like houses, the sun, the moon, mountains, rivers, and rain.

2. Simple syllables or combinations of simple syllables make up almost all spoken Chinese. Therefore, it is not surprising that they only have a few words. A single sound can mean many different things. For instance, 188 words are represented by the syllable "yi." As a result, rather than writing each sound with a different sigh, the Chinese write each meaning.

3. When China's first Emperor, Shih Luang-ti mandated the use of this writing system throughout his empire in the third century BC, China became one nation. All of the Chinese spoke very different dialects, but they could all read a common script that connected them all. Because it does not follow an alphabet, this was possible. Similar to Egyptian hieroglyphs, it is pictorial.
