Best Answer

Here are five fun facts:

  1. The symbols represent both sounds and meanings, and a word typically included both kinds of symbols.
  2. The words could be written in any direction, but were most often written from right to left.
  3. Many people think the writing consisted of thousands of symbols, and it did, however, only about 700 were in common use, and to read most documents, that's all you would need to know.
  4. the phonetic symbols only represented the consonants of the word; we don't know what the vowels were for the ancient Egyptian language.
  5. Most ancient Egyptians could not read hieroglyphics. Only scribes, priests, and royalty were taught how to read.
