Answer:

There are several common points between this two, but the most important is that constituted the alphabetisation of each culture.

  • Both were handwritten to comunicate or record information.
  • Both were used to express art.
  • At the beginning, the people who could write were selected people, not everyone knew how to write.

They are similar because;

1: both languages are writing systems that code language. (that is basically anything said in language can be written with them and could be read very loud or out loud)

2: well some of the hieroglyphs refer to the meanings but some of them sound like letters

3: And therefore some of our alphabet comes from the hieroglyphs ~ but the Greek script.

Let me know if it's correct!
