Hieroglyphs

Ancient Egyptians used a system of writing called hieroglyphic, a Greek word that means "sacred Carvings." Hieroglyphic signs are all pictures of people, places or things found in ancient Egypt; they can represent objects, ideas or sounds. Breaking the code can be tricky — but it is possible.
