*”egyptian hieroglyphs” were the formal writing system used in ‘ancient egypt’*
🌟
(it combined ‘logographic’ / ‘syllabic’ / ‘alphabetic elements’, with a total of some 1,000 distinct characters)
(‘cursive hieroglyphs’ were used for ‘religious literature’ on ‘papyrus’ and ‘wood’)
(the later ‘hieratic’ and ‘demotic’ egyptian scripts are derived from ‘hieroglyphic writing’; ‘meroitic’ was a late derivation from ‘demotic’)
(use of hieroglyphic writing arises from proto-literate symbol systems in the ‘early bronze age’, around the 32nd century BC (‘naqada III’), with the first decipherable sentence written in the ‘egyptian’ language dating to the ‘second dynasty’ (28th century BC))
(‘egyptian hieroglyphs’ developed into a mature writing system used for monumental inscription in the ‘classical language of the ‘middle kingdom’ period; during this period, the system made use of about 900 distinct signs)
(the writing system continued to be used throughout the ‘late period’, as well as the ‘persian’ / ‘ptolemaic’ periods)
(late survivals of hieroglyphic use are found well into the ‘roman period’, extending into the 4th century AD)
(with the closing of ‘pagan temples’ in the 5th century, knowledge of hieroglyphic writing was lost, and the script remained undeciphered throughout the ‘medieval’ and ‘early modern’ period)
.
(the decipherment of ‘hieroglyphs’ would only be solved in the ‘1820s’ by ‘jean-françois champollion’ (with the help of the ‘rosetta stone’))
