Title: Hieroglyph caps

This is an art project:

Quote

In this ongoing series titled Unlikely, artist and photographer Giuseppe Colarusso imagines bizarre and humorous objects, each of which is either technically impossible, improbable, or simply useless in its proposed design. Colarusso tells me via email that many of the pieces he fabricates himself, however some are digitally created in Photoshop. So what’s the point? He hopes each image will make you stop, think and hopefully bring a smile to your face, which is definitely a worthy cause.

I like it.  Any correlation to QWERTY?

I thought it would be fun to do a groupbuy with ancient languages some time. Like Akkadian/Sumerian, Phonecian, Egyptian Hieroglyphs, Norse Runes, whatever else that is cool looking.

they used sticks with a triangle end, and the narrow parts were drug to make the lines
it's called cuneiform, very old, and a cool writing structure
