Hey Dakota! I enjoyed your Traipsing as usual. I want to say, though, that if you were in ancient Egypt, you'd be writing hieroglyphic, not cuneiform. And if you were writing cuneiform, you'd probably be doing it on clay tablets, not papyrus, and you'd be in Persia or Mesopotamia or around there and not in Egypt. Check out hieroglyphic! It's fascinating. I suggest "How to Read Egyptian Hieroglyphs" by Collier and Manley for a quick intro or Middle Egyptian by James P Allen for more depth. If you want to write hieroglyphs, there's "Ancient Egyptian Calligraphy" by H.G. Fischer.
