From Hieroglyphs To Holograms

Ancient hieroglyphs - pictures of objects that represented words and syllables centuries ago - Seven hundred signs (no vowels), sacred carvings of old Egypt Left to right right to left or straight down thoughts like magic shown! Think ahead of time beyond mere projections in 3-D Material encoded, then diffracting light - An image “shone.” Today’s illusions on tomorrow’s screens means special glasses won’t be required for modern holograms!

Congratulations, Andrea, on your win in this difficult themed contest. I completely agree with all the comments below. And like Becca I too found your today's illusion on tomorrows screens line striking. ~karam~

Not only do your word depict holograms and hieroglyphs but it also forms a picture.

GREAT! It can also be filed under the SHAPE genre since it resembles a Greek Vase. AWSOME. Kudos to this effort. A7
