The ancient Egyptians wrote using picture words called hieroglyphs This style of writing, which was very beautiful, didn’t include vowels (AEIOU), or punctuation What was it like?

On papyrus Papyrus, which is a water plant, was used to make paper They also carved symbols into stone, and painted hieroglyphs on the walls in tombs How can we understand them? Because of the Rosetta Stone ElRashid (Rosetta), where the stone was found, is a town in the north of Egypt Some French soldiers, who were building a fort, found the stone in 1799 The Rosetta Stone, which was made over 2,000 years ago, has three different types of writing on it The writing is in hieroglyphs, Ancient Egyptian and Ancient Greek It has shown people how to read hieroglyphs C which who who who which which who where Page 46 D where who which which who Page 45 B Papyrus, which is a water plant, was used to make paper Some French soldiers, who were working nearby, found the stone The town El-Rashid, where the stone was found, is called Rosetta in English Hieroglyphs, which can be read in any direction, are picture words or symbols Thomas Young, who was a scientist, tried to understand the words on the stone Jean-François Champollion, who was a French professor, translated most of the stone Oxford Discover Grammar Student Book Answer Key © Oxford University Press E When did they start to use hieroglyphs? The Ancient Egyptians, who lived along the River Nile in Egypt, started to develop their writing system 5,000 years ago How can I read the signs? The symbols, which were objects, animals and people, were written across the page or from top to bottom If the animal, bird, or person is facing left, which looks like this, you read from left to right If they face right, which looks like this, you read from right to left Which direction you read in your language? How did they learn to write using hieroglyphs? Was it easy? Scribe school, where students learned to read and write, was hard work There were lots of symbols to learn Where did they use their writing? When they finished, they used writing in many different places The scribes, who learned how to read and write using hieroglyphs, used their writing to count animals, to decorate temples and tombs, or to send messages in war Sometimes they worked in government Can I try writing like an Ancient Egyptian? Yes, you can! Try to find the symbols of the written language, which didn’t have any vowels (AEIOU), and then try to write your name who lived along the River Nile in Egypt which were objects, animals, and people which looks like this where students learned to read and write who learned how to read and write using hieroglyphs Page 47 F See circled words in Exercise E G The Egyptian museum, which is near my house, is very interesting My teacher, who told me about the Egyptians, is Ms Allan The Pyramid display room, which will be awesome, will open next month Cairo, where my friend Mohammed lives, is the capital of Egypt This style of writing, which was very beautiful, didn’t use vowels My friend’s language, which is Japanese, can be read from top to bottom, too The River Nile, which the Ancient Egyptians lived along, is in Egypt Hieroglyphs, which were sometimes carved into stone, can still be seen today!
