Hieroglyphics

HIEROGLYPHICS

In Ancient Egypt they used hieroglyphics to write down important events and happenings on walls in tombs. The word hieroglyphics means sacred writing and in Greek it means holy carvings, which fits very well because hieroglyphics are either written on papyrus or they carved it on stones. Hieroglyphics were very important then and now since they could write down all their important events and what happened to them. We can also learn a little how they lived and what happened. Hieroglyphics could be read up to down or left to right.
