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.
A system of heiroglyphs - it was actually a very complicated and redundant system. In order to provide clarity, several glyphs were used for each word or symbol. But since the Egyptians didn't use letters, but rather symbols and pictures, they doubled and tripled the signs that represented what they wanted to say. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_hierogl...
