........used by traders in the Levant during the early bronze age, where by a system of circles and lines was used to indicate if an area had been scouted out for potential custom. It made reference to things like, a circle with a broken ring meant no hostile forces, a broken inner ring meant little trade, unbroken circles meant strong defences and good trade, whilst a line running through two unbroken circles meant the area is unscouted and unknown.


Hmmmm, wouldn't that info be too precious to share though. ?


And not subject to later change? e.g. "a line running through two unbroken circles meant the area is unscouted and unknown". So what happened when it *was* scouted? How did they erase the line?

Nah, sorry, doesn't work for me...
