Hieroglyphics represent actions, objects or living things like people or animals. They use pictures to represent things a little differently than our words.

Right now my class is learning about Egypt. Hieroglyphics represented over at least 300 letters. there were no vowels in there language. Hieroglyphics are depicted as pictures, which I believe is called "cuneiform" writing.
