It is called Hieroglyphics the individual characters hieroglyphs. The symbols mainly stand for sounds like the Roman letters we use today. It was this discovery along with the Rosetta stone with an identical text in Greek which allowed the Frenchman Jean Francois Champolion (1790-1832) to unlock the mystery.
