Egyptian Hieroglyphs written by Priscila Scoville and narrated by Jennifer Sabir: <a href="https://member.worldhistory.org/Egyptian_Hieroglyphs/" target="_blank">https://www.worldhistory.org/Egyptian_Hieroglyphs/</a>



The Egyptian hieroglyphic script was one of the writing systems used by ancient Egyptians to represent their language. Because of their pictorial elegance, Herodotus and other important Greeks believed that Egyptian hieroglyphs were something sacred, so they referred to them as 'holy writing'. Thus, the word hieroglyph comes from the Greek hiero 'holy' and glypho 'writing'. In the ancient Egyptian language, hieroglyphs were called medu netjer, 'the gods' words' as it was believed that writing was an invention of the gods.
