Yes. There'd be absolutely no basis for a phoenetic system of writing for people who communicated telepathically. I assume Egyptian heiroglyphics and Chinese writing are leftovers from antediluvian times.

"The most beautiful and most profound emotion we can experience is the sensation of the mystical. It is the dower of all true science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead. To know that what is impenetrable to us really exists, manifesting itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty which our dull faculties can comprehend only in their most primitive forms -- this knowledge, this feeling is at the center of true religiousness."

--Albert Einstein

Egyptian heiroglyphics are actually phonetic rather than pictorial. They are remarkably similar to the modern english alphabet.
