When writing first got started, it was more about tallying business and religious transactions than any other communication needs. One of the ways transactions were handled happened when two people would make an exchange in front of a witness. That witness would ensure a scribe recorded the transaction, and then seal the clay tablet with his insignia ring. Each ring was individually created just for that person, and that person's reputation relied on their word as bond, no different than a notary public does in this day.Shadowkindrdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10605768381744989202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-70008266982170404042011-02-06T11:12:23.977-05:002011-02-06T11:12:23.977-05:00I once did a school coat-of-arms project.

I didn't go that far, but I have a pegasus necklace.Corahttp://corabuhlert.comnoreply@blogger.com
