Proposal

So I cannot make it to class today because of an exam mixup in my Bio. Class that had to be worked out. I was wondering if anyone could help me figure out what specific historical event that involved iconography i could focus on for my paper. I wanted to do a short walk through history discussing the importance of Images, but it would be too broad. Therefore I need a specific event or time period to work on. If anyone has any suggestions that would be great! 

Here are 2 of my main ideas. 

- the first written language- cuneiform ( argue then that our letters are infact just symbols) 

- the egyptian period/ rossetta stone 

Thanks in advance for your help~
