Who had similar writing systems?
A similar writing system to hieroglyphics is cuneiform, ancient Sumerian writing, but they didn't use characters and symbols like the Egyptians. They pressed reeds into clay tablets, creating wedges.
What is the difference between the Egyptian and the sumerian culture?
Sumerian is the oldest known written language in human history. The writing was called cuneiform after the wedge shaped writing instrument. The pictograms were etched onto clay tablets and fired in kilns to make the writing endure. It was replaced by the Aramaic around 900BC. The Egyptians developed hieroglyphics, and they wrote on papyrus made from reeds. Papyrus was cheaper and easier to produce and keep than the clay tablets.
