Welcome to Deep Dives! 

Thanks so much for choosing to give Deep Dives a listen. This first episode is a way to lay the groundwork and begin our journey through time. We give an introduction into ancient Egypt as a whole and then dive into hieroglyphics. We also lay out a few theories for how non-spoken gestures and vocally produced sounds culminated into a commonly understandable language that can be conveyed between human beings. I argue that without the Egyptian method of writing a centralized state could not have formed because this state needed to keep accurate records for it to function properly. But of course, this is my speculation and I don't dogmatically purvey theories. My mind is always opened to being changed. Anyways, hope you enjoy!
