The "Cascajal Block" is an #Olmec engraved slab found in the State of #Veracruz, #Mexico in 1999. It has been dated to around 900-650 BC and may represent the oldest #writingsystem in the #Americas, since it contains 62 #undeciphered glyphs (many of them repeated).

A sketch of the revised writing system for kesper. I went for a full abugida this time which looks way better. The number system from V2 remains the same. I have NO CLUE how I could digitize this... maybe Ge'ez? We'll see... #conlang #conscript #writingsystem #alien

I forgot that making a constructed script for english i can use in my personal projects is exhausting bc im a perfectionist by nature

I'll keep chipping at it, though tips are welcome if anyone has em #writingsystem #conlang #neography

#FunFact 2: Despite that, it doesn't necessarily mean that they weren't used for religious/magical purposes at all. Stacked Tiwaz runes (such as on the #Kylver stone) may have been used to invoke Týr. It just wasn't their primary purpose, like any other standard #writingsystem.

Essentially, If TokiPona Were To Ascend To A Properly Used Language, Written Down With Say, Pencil, The Glyphs As Of Current Would Morph InTo Alternate, More WritingFriendly Glyphs, Adding InterFluidity And Cohesion To The WritingSystem.
