What are "hieroglyphs"?
Hieroglyphs are a system of writing used in ancient Egypt, combining logographic and alphabetic elements. Each symbol can represent a word, a sound, or a combination of both, allowing for rich and complex expressions. For example, the hieroglyph for "ankh" represents the word for "life" and is often depicted as a cross with a loop at the top. Hieroglyphs were primarily carved on monuments, tombs, and temple walls, serving religious and ceremonial purposes. This writing system is significant in understanding ancient Egyptian culture, history, and language, as it provides insights into their beliefs, practices, and daily life.
