 Egyptian hieroglyphs were the formal writing system used in Ancient Egypt.  It is a very   old form of writing that they starting using as early as 3000 B.C. Hieroglyphics was a very   complicated way of writing involving 1000s of symbols.

 Hieroglyphics was different from how we write in many ways: 

  • They didn't use any punctuation.through the New Kingdom and Late Period, and on into the Persian and Ptolemaic periods. 
  • One of the goals in writing hieroglyphics was that the writing would look like art and be beautiful to look at.
  • A single picture symbol could stand for a whole word, called an ideogram, or a sound, called a phonogram. For example, a picture of an eye could mean the word "eye" or the letter "I"
