Ancient Chinese Oracle Bones and other Ancient Writing - Ep 184

We're taking a deep dive on ancient writing on this episode! After talking about the recent deciphering of Linear Elamite on the last episode we just wanted more. We'll talk about what writing means and mention other undeciphered languages. In the last two segments we'll talk about first written scripts in China and Mesoamerica. And for members, we've got a cool bonus segment about a curious artifact found in Mexico in the 1990s.
