3000 years ago, a king found a cool rock and engraved it with a picture of himself handing it to his young daughter with the caption “I gave this cool rock to my beloved daughter, Bar-Uli”

I can see that they’re imitating the little triangles (which are a natural consequence of the stylus in clay method) on purpose, much as formal western typography is based on quill/brush writing with the thicks and thins

The way in which the engraving on the rock references the gifting on the rock not only is awesome on its own but also retroactively makes a lot of Dwarf Fortress engravings far more realistic to me.
