Travel to the dawn of history to watch writing develop before your eyes! Brag to your friends about how you know the structure behind Egyptian hieroglyphs, Chinese characters, the Maya script and the early alphabet! Meet stars like King Sejong and this Phoenician merchant with a really cool camel!

This is Thoth's Pill, the upcoming 50-minute series on the birth and evolution of writing. Watch the world's scripts get invented and understand how they work. But only if you take Thoth's Pill...
