Writing symbols were 'invented' by Hermes from the flight of birds according to Greek mythology; Ogham, invented by Ogmios the 'Celtic god of eloquence' (Hermes?), looks like prints left by birds or a ...

Brilliant Wile! A BC homing pigeon messaging exchange in every village.

A complex written language isn't needed to make a messaging system useful. Just a simple set of symbols with agreed meanings ...
