Good one! Fun fact: They had a handwriting for use on papyrii, looking quite similar to our nowadays’ scribbling. The pictograms were used mainly on monuments, thus also called “monumental writing”. The scientists were lucky that priests and policticians stuck with this icons and liked to chisel it in stone, because it would have been much harder to decipher the Rosetta stone if the egyptian part had been scribbled in “peoples” writing. I can’t even decipher all of which my wife writes on the shopping list, and when I’m asking her “what does that mean?” she often answers “I dunno”.

Now would be a good time to invent papyrus – it’ll be a lot easier on your back. 8^)

I always engrave my shopping obelisk and then forget to bring it with me.

I don’t think he’ll want to spend that much shopping. After all, he is a chiseler.
