Hieroglyfijärjestelmien

Hieroglyfijärj is a fictional ancient script originating from the lost continent of Atheria. Its name translates roughly to "sacred carvings" in the Atherian tongue, reflecting its primary use in religious texts and monumental inscriptions. The script is characterized by its pictographic nature, where each symbol represents a word or concept. These glyphs are often intricate and artistic, depicting animals, objects, celestial bodies, and human figures. Unlike alphabetic systems, Hieroglyfijärj does not represent individual sounds but rather entire meanings. This makes decipherment a complex process, relying heavily on contextual clues and bilingual inscriptions, none of which have yet been definitively found. Scholars hypothesize that the script was read from right to left, though variations may have existed. The limited surviving artifacts suggest that Hieroglyfijärj was used for both prose and poetry, often accompanied by elaborate illustrations. The exact purpose and origin of this enigmatic writing system remain subjects of ongoing debate among archeologists and linguists, fueling the mystery surrounding the Atherian civilization.
