The Egyptians developed a writing system using hieroglyphics. MAIN IDEA The Egyptians developed a writing system using hieroglyphics.

Topics in the Section: Egyptian Writing Writing in Ancient Egypt The Rosetta Stone Egyptian Texts

EGYPTIAN WRITING

Egyptian Achievements: Hieroglyphs one of the world’s first writing sytems Egyptians created hieroglyphics, which means “to teach”, as a form of writing. The Egyptians had over 600 symbols – mostly pictures of objects. 3300 B.C. the Egyptians wrote on stone of other hard material. Later they developed papyrus, which is a paper-like material made from reeds

At first hieroglyphics were carved in stone.

Egyptians invented one of the world’s first writing systems, using a series of images, symbols, and pictures called hieroglyphics (hy-ruh-GLIH-fiks).

Hieroglyphics – The ancient Egyptian writing system that used picture symbols.

Each symbol represented one of more sounds in the Egyptian language.

Hieroglyphs Hieroglyphs Pictures that were used to write the ancient Egyptian language Originally used to keep records of the king’s possessions. Scribes could easily make these records by drawing a picture of a cow or a boat followed by a number. As the language became more complex, more pictures were needed. Eventually the language consisted of more than 750 individual signs.

Later, they were written with brushes and ink on papyrus (puh-PY-ruhs).

Papyrus – a long-lasting, paper–like material made from reeds that the ancient Egyptians used to write on.

Because papyrus didn’t decay, many ancient Egyptian texts still survive, including government records, historical records, science texts, medical manuals, and literary works such as The Book of the Dead.

The Book of the Dead Many texts are still available today, including the famous The Book of the Dead, which is about the afterlife.

CARTOUCHE Hieroglyphics could be written either horizontally or vertically. They could be written from right to left or from left to right. These options made hieroglyphics flexible to write but difficult to read. The only way to tell which way a text is written is to look at individuals symbols.

It was called the Rosetta found in the city of Rosetta The Rosetta Stone Today we are able to translate Hieroglyphics into English because of the discovery of Rosetta Stone. Hieroglyphs <---------------- During Napoleon's Invasion of Egypt - Discovered in 1799 Demotic <---------------- Greek <---------------- It was called the Rosetta Stone because it was found in the city of Rosetta Carved in 196 BC

Rosetta Stone A huge stone slab inscribed with hieroglyphics, Greek and a latter form of Egyptian that allowed historians to understand Egyptian writing

The discovery of the Rosetta Stone in 1799 provided the key to reading Egyptian writing, as its text was inscribed both in hieroglyphics and in Greek.

Achievements Pyramids Ship-building Hieroglyphics Calendar There were about 80 along the banks of the Nile River. The largest is the Great Pyramid, built by King Khufu in about 2600 B.C. It stands about 481 feet high and covers 13 acres. The pyramids functioned as huge burial tombs for the Egyptians’ dead pharaohs and queens. Ship-building They used the Nile River like a highway to transport people and goods to foreign lands. The first ships were made out of bundles of papyrus reeds tied together to make a canoe-like vessel. As the ship trade flourished, the hulls of the ships were made of cedar, and oars and sails were added for greater speed. Hieroglyphics These were pictures and symbols that served as one of the first written languages in the world. Calendar Calendars were developed in 4241 B.C. with 365 days in a year. It was based on the flooding of the Nile River. New Years was on June 1, not January 1!
