I'd wager the Great Pyramids will still be around in 1000 years and the Burj Khalifa will not, if anyone wants to take bets.

I dont think this chnages anything. The writing was less convenient than modern alphabets but still capable of expressing all things necessary.

The closest analogy might be: modern alebraic notation is compact and clean but this doesnt mean algebra didnt exist much, much earlier.

To make this claim, wouldn't you need to understand the meaning of the script? It's probably not about monads, but you don't know for sure.

The mental image of an ancient Mesoamerican civilization writing about monads thousands of years before the rest of us, only for it to go unappreciated because we can't comprehend their script, is a great one.
