How come they skipped cuneiform and all the really ancient writing forms?

 

Other than that, there's some blingin' ass calligraphy there. Good find.

No one started graffiti/vandilism. 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?

I read this article in National Geographic about the first ‘writer’ a few years ago. 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.
