Hieroglyphs are wrien in rows or columns and can be read from le to
right or from right to le. You can disnguish the direcon in which the
text is to be read because the human or animal gures always face to-
wards the beginning of the line. Also the upper symbols are read beforelower.
1. There are twenty-four alphabet signseach one represenng a single
sound. The Egypans did not include vowels E, U or V in their wring
although these sounds were present in the spoken language. (nither did
they have a leer for X). For example, Sobek is the name of the crocodile
god but the Egypans would have wrien it Sbk.
It is possible to write a whole word using only symbols from the ancient
Egypan alphabet. For example the Fourth Dynasty pharaoh, Khufu,
wrote his name in this way.

It is possible to write the English word THANKS
(right) with a combinaon of alphabet and syllabic
signs. Note the three strokes - this is the sign for a
plural. (this is a determinave sign)
2. Syllabic signsrepresent a combinaon of two or three leer sounds.
Such as in English buy and pie or in ancient Egypan Sha and Ka
3. Determinave signs - Some hieroglyphs work like road
signs for example when we see the road sign showing a car with
skidmarks we know it means there is a slippery road ahead.
Determinave signs are pictures of objects that helps the reader under-
stand the meaning of a word. Wrien words did not represent all of thesounds of spoken words. For instance the word boat was expressed
in hieroglyphs as dpt (it might have been pronounced depet), but

4. Word signs are pictures of objects used as the words for those objects.
Each word sign is followed by an upright stroke to indicate that the word
is complete in one sign. For example, if there wasnt
enough space to write boat in hieroglyphs, the an-
cient writer just used the picture of a boat followed by
an upright stroke to indicate that the sign should be
read as boat.
Depet is also a persons name. To prevent the
reader from mistaking it for another word, the
writer included a picture of a boat to clarify the
words meaning.
If a word expressed an abstract idea, such ashappy, a picture of a sealed papyrus scroll was
included to show that the meaning of the word could be expressed in
wring but not pictorially.

me in ancient Egypt, and Senet

boards, like the one found in Tut-

simply scratched into the earth.
You can now play this ancient game ether against the computer or an-other person. hp://shop.discoveringegypt.com/senet.html
