	Egyptian hieroglyph - Biocrawler
		Hieroglyphs consist of three kinds of characters: phonetic characters, including single-consonant characters, like an alphabet, but also many representing two or three consonants, logographs, representing a word, and determinatives, which indicate the semantic category of a spelled-out word without indicating its precise meaning.
		Hieroglyphs continued to be used under Persian rule (intermittent in the 6th and 5th centuries BC), after Alexander's conquest of Egypt, and during the ensuing Macedonian and Roman periods.
		Monumental use of hieroglyphs ceased after the closing of all non-Christian temples in 391 AD by the Roman Emperor Theodosius I; the last known inscription is from a temple far to the south not too long after 391.

		Hieroglyphs, developed approximately 6000 years ago, is a system of writing used by the ancient Egyptians.
		As writing became more widespread among the Egyptian people, the common people, who could not be bothered to draw a lion in all detail every time they wanted to write the letter L, simplified the letter forms, producing hieratic and demotic.
		Use of hieroglyphics, especially fluent use, appears to have been a way to distinguish 'true Egyptians' from the foreign conquerors (and their local lackeys), as a kind of test of commitment, etc. This aspect may account for misleading quality of many surviving comments from Greek, Roman, and early Christian writers about hieroglyphics.

		Egyptians used cursive hieroglyphs, not to be confused with hieratic, for religious literature on papyrus and wood.
		Hieroglyphs survive today in two forms: Directly, through half a dozen Demotic glyphs added to the Greek alphabet when writing Coptic; and indirectly, as the inspiration for the original alphabet that was ancestral to nearly every other alphabet ever used, including the Roman alphabet.
		Since Egyptian hieroglyphic writing does not normally indicate vowels, in contrast, for example, to cuneiform, it could perhaps be argued that it is a variety of abjad.

		Translating hieroglyphs therefore is not as straightforward as a=the symbol for an eagle.
		These are "sound signs" where the hieroglyph is used to try and picture the sound combination, for instance a bit like the word "belief" being depicted as a picture of a bee followed by a picture of a leaf.
		The study of the Coptic language, a direct descendant of Ancient Egyptian, as well as surviving translations of Egyptian words in the languages of Assyrian, Babylonian and Greek has enabled the vocalisation of many Ancient Egyptian words to be partially reconstructed.

		Egyptians wore the ankh as an amulet to prolong life on earth, and were buried with it to ensure their 'life to come' in the afterworld; belief in the ankh's power was reinforced by its resemblance to a key which would unlock the gates of death.
