Hello!

Hieroglyphics were a form of writing in Ancient Egypt. The hieroglyphs were simple drawings of objects and symbols that resembled the thing that they were describing/referring to. These were used in Ancient Egypt for communication and writing records. Hieroglyphs were used to represent the Egyptians' language.

I hope this helps you! Have a great day!
