A language reborn

I watched this video and realized that this is a new language that has evolved. But then I thought about it a little and realized that in fact it is not new but just a more modern version of Hieroglyphics. Perhaps not as complex as Hieroglyphics but the same basis of symbolism. The one thing that i noticed about it though was that not all of the symbols are obvious to the viewer therefore the language, just like any other, would have to be learned.
