Something that you will most likely see throughout Egypt is the hieroglyphics. Hieroglyphics were the formal writing used in ancient Egypt. Ancient Egyptians used Hieroglyphics to communicate and situations they experienced during their lives. Instead of paper, Egyptians used papyrus to write. Egyptians also would carve or paint hieroglyphics of gods or the story of their god's life on temple walls. They would also decorate tombs, the inside of pyramids, and more. Whenever you see a hieroglyphic, compare it to your country's form of writing; it’s completely different, right?
