Egyptian scripts are a collection of writing systems used in ancient Egypt, primarily known for their use of hieroglyphs. These symbols represent sounds, words, and concepts, allowing for complex communication in religious texts, monumental inscriptions, and administrative documents. The scripts evolved over time, with hieratic and demotic being two notable cursive forms that simplified the original hieroglyphic writing.
The study of Egyptian scripts provides valuable insights into the culture, religion, and daily life of ancient Egyptians. Deciphering these scripts, particularly through the Rosetta Stone, has been crucial in understanding their history and language, revealing the rich tapestry of their civilization.
