The Egyptian hieroglyphs were last used nearly two thousand years ago to write a language that has not been spoken in any form for several hundred years. It's probably true that more people in Egypt can read hieroglyphs than in other parts of the world, but if so that's only because they studied them in school, just as speakers of English must study Old English in order to read Beowulf.
