To write hieroglyphics you must know many things. The Ancient
Egyptians wrote hieroglyphics right to left. Also, the Ancient Egyptians did not
capitalize or use punctuation in their writing. Hieroglyphics were very
complex. One letter could be represented by many different hieroglyphics,
and one hieroglyphic might represent more than one sound or letter.
Below we show you how to read the English alphabet
and some numbers written in hieroglyphics.
