Fig. #1. The system of symbols that comprise languages need not be limited to what we know as words/letters. Witness in the diagram above an example of the picture writing that was to later become what we today call ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphics. Its translation reads: In the beginning, before the beginning of Man upon the face of Earth, before the awareness of Man, like a sea of power, there rained upon the Earth a new creation--the creation of Life, itself. Behold the creation of Life. Behold the awareness of creation under the control of the Grand Builders of Illusion.
If we were to consider the addition of color to our language card, the wavy lines could mean intelligence as opposed to awareness.
