Hieroglyphs were a system of writing used by the ancient Egyptians over 5,000 years ago. The word 'hieroglyph' comes from the Greek words hieros, meaning sacred, and glyphein, meaning to carve. Hieroglyphs were used to write religious texts, history, and literature, and were also used for more practical purposes, such as record keeping. The system of writing was eventually replaced by the more simple hieratic and demotic scripts.
