The Hieroglyphic language is
one of the oldest languages on earth🌍. The Hieroglyphic letters
are symbols like birds, hands, legs...etc. A lot of writings were found on the
temple walls of Ancient Egyptians🇪🇬 as well as pots,
coffins, and artifacts. 🕵👗♟🎲🧩⏳
Do you know that:
- Hieroglyphs are written in rows or columns and can be read from left to right
or from right to left. 😟
- You can distinguish the direction in which the text is to be read because the
human or animal figures always face towards the beginning of the line. Also, the upper
symbols are read before the lower. 🦊🐮🐦🐺🦉
-The signs or symbols represent a single sound.
Unfortunately, the Egyptians🇪🇬 took most vowels for
granted and did not represent such as ‘e’ or ‘v’. So, we may never know how the
words were formed. 🙁
- Syllabic signs represent a combination of two or
three consonants. 🥺
- Word-signs are pictures of objects used as the
words for those objects. They are followed by an upright stroke, to indicate
that the word is complete in one sign. 👍
