Guest imported_El Mamerro Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 How come they skipped cuneiform and all the really ancient writing forms? Other than that, there's some blingin' ass calligraphy there. Good find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This started as soon as monkeys turned to men and we realized we can inscribe names/messages/whatever on our surroundings and have others see, and be influenced by. Have you ever seen the inside of a caveman's cave? Do you think they were Latin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was interesting. I’m not sure, but it might have had to do with the Greeks. Something to do with a recent discovery of engravings done by someone (quite possibly a soldier) in a trench in the ancient times. Not to take anything away from any culture, but I think it may have been about a Greek. Either way, you done know graffiti is as old as spitting and self-pollution.
