Sad that people waste so much time on that shiznatz. But other than Glagolitic and possible runes around Novgorod, was there any pre-Cyrillic writing?

I was too hasty with my previous posting. You don't have to listen to a dull lecture in Russian (or is it Macedonian?) to learn about the Macedonian text of the Rosetta Stone! YouTube has an explanation in English at

It's well worth watching, if just for the graphics and really good Macedonian background music.

BTW, am I right that before this revolutionary discovery, the Demotic text and the Hieroglyphic text were considered essentially the same thing in two writing systems?
