Q&A for How to Read Egyptian Hieroglyphics

In total, there are hundreds of hieroglyphics. They weren't all used at the same time, though. Initially, the Egyptians developed logograms, where a single glyph stands for a whole word. Later on, they realized they also needed glyphs for individual letters, but they couldn't get rid of the earlier glyphs since hieroglyphics were sacred (hieroglyphics actually comes from a pair of greek words meaning "words of the gods")

With great difficulty. Most Egyptian couldn't read hieroglyphs. Those that could formed the scribe class. Because of the difficulty of reading hieroglyphs, scribes were very well renowned (they were the equivalent of the upper class today).

Hieroglyphics are the written language that the ancient Egyptians used. Instead of letters, this language was written using symbols.
