In Ancient period of Egyptians used an extraordinary or complicated kind of writing.
The Greek used the signs called 'hieroglyphs (sacred writing). Centuries experts made puzzled the meaning of hieroglyphs on tombs and temples. It was more advanced picture writing the Egyptians first ever used. Until 1799 no one could read this script when a tablet called Rosetta stone was discovered. This stone has got the same inscriptions in three forms of writing hieroglyphics,loptic Egyptian and Greek. Due to the last two were understand it was possible to the hieroglyphics.

The script of ancient Egyptians was developed about four thousand years before Christ.
"The word of god" hieroglyphs were used mainly for priests. These paint drawn symbols were good for decorating on the walls of temples. There was another script used for conducting day to day business known as hieratic. This handwriting was the sign of pictures were a shorten form of words to the point of not noticing.
These Hieroglyphs are written in rows or column and also can be read from right to left or from left to right. We can also distinguish the direction in which the text is made to be read because the animal of human figures always face towards the beginning. It also says upper symbols can be read before the lower.
The four category of Hieroglyphic signs are divided which are as follows:
#In these Hieroglyphic signs alphabetic signs represent a single sound.
#Syllabic signs which represent a combination of two or three consonants.
#It also denotes Word-signs are pictures of objects used as the word for those objects which they are followed by an upright stroke, to denotes that the word is complete within one sign.
