What did Mayans use hieroglyphics for?

The Olmec people were some of the first in the Americas to develop a true writing system. The symbols are called "glyphs", not hieroglyphics.The language has not yet been definitively identified and work on decipherment is consequently ongoing. It is likely that it is syllabic, like Maya script, where each glyph stands for a consonant-vowel or consonant-vowel-consonant group, as in baor bab.

How is the ancient Chinese writing system different from the cuneiform and hieroglyphics?

Chinese characters are logographic (representing ideas instead of sounds) whereas hieroglyphic symbols represent consonants as well as general concepts (called determiners). Furthermore, Chinese characters are "stylized" and for the most part do not look like their original pictures, whereas hieroglyphics retained the clear shapes of the images they originally represented.Cuneiform characters represent the sounds of syllables only and are similar to Japanese kana.
