Hieroglyphs of Ancient Egypt

In the 8th century BC another kind of Egyptian writing appeared that developed from writing of hieroglyphs. The system of this writing is the same. It also had the same sound signs and helpers. But this kind of writing also had the vowel sound. And with the beginning of the new era Egyptians Christians started to use the Greek alphabet adding several signs. But Egyptians would surprise a lot if they knew that they got their own invention from Greeks.

Long time ago Egyptians met other tribes that got the idea of alphabet from Egyptians. They made their letters under the influence of the Egyptian hieroglyphs. And afterwards Greeks borrowed that alphabet from other tribes developing it and changing it.

As you know the Greece alphabet became the base of many alphabets. And Egyptians-Christians got their alphabet from the Greek alphabet. The Latin language also came from the Greece alphabet and language. And there are a lot of other languages first of all Slavic ones that have their origins in the Greece alphabet.

The main material for writing in Ancient Egypt was papyrus. The stem of this helophyte was divided into the lines and the lines covered one another. Then the vertical lines were covered with horizontal lines with water. And then they were put under the press. In such way the paper was got.

Egyptians were writing with the help of blacken and made the indentation.

Astronomy was always important in Ancient Egypt. That is why even the Pyramids were built according to the night sky forming the constellation. And Nile was playing the role of the Via Lacteal.
