Hieroglyphics (sacred symbols). For a long time it was supposed that the written Egyptian language consisted solely of concepts, like a picture of a hippopotamus stood for râ¦iver, or danger, or submerge.
In virtue of the wide use of these phonograms, the hieroglyphic writing was by the most part phonetic. Later on, the phonograms made up of only one letter were called alphabetic signs. From the beginning, the Egyptians had the letters of the alphabet and they commonly used these signs among the others.
