It's Egyptian hieroglyphs. When I was in school I drew them and then burned the paper and threw it in the oven to age it just for fun. My mom found the result lying on the floor of my room and asked me where I got it. I told her how I made it and she went and had it framed without telling me. 
Mums rock.
