Egyptian hieroglyphs
Ancient Egypt hieroglyphic to Haɪf; The Greek word ἱερογλύφος means "sacred touch", which also writes Τὰ Ἱερογλυφικά γράμματα) is a formal writing system used by ancient Egyptians containing a combination of signs and letters. The Egyptians used the inscriptions to record religious texts on papyrus and wood. The less formal variations of this character, known as monks and civilians, are technically not a symbolic.
The image is composed of three types of engraving: phonetic, composed of separate phonetic letters that can act as a letter; Sign, express the shapes; And the words are limited, narrowing the meaning of a sign or phonetic words.
When the writing grew and became widely populated in Egypt, the simple forms of carvings developed, which led to the scribes (priests) and the population (inhabitants). These variations are also more appropriate than the image symbol when used on papyrus. However, the script text does not disappear, which exists next to other forms, especially at the temples and in the form of the other official handwriting. Rosetta Stone has text-shaped parallel letters and a civilian budget.
It is clear that all of the iconic characters are few or more iconic: they present real or virtual elements, which are sometimes stylized and simplified, but in general they can all be validated in the form. However, the same notation can, depending on the context, be translated in different ways: as a phonetic (phonetic reading), such as a sign, or as a symbol (semagram; "term") (semantic reading). The term is not read as a phonetic component, but is made easy to understand by distinguish words from other identical pronunciation words.
