What documents were hieroglyphics first used in?
Hieroglyphs did not need to be "discovered" since they have existed in plain sight ever since they were carved on the walls of temples, monuments, stelae, mortuary chapels and tombs all over Egypt.The problem as that nobody could read the inscriptions that were so obviously used everywhere across the entire country. Without knowing the language used in those inscriptions, decipherment of the script was impossible; only when the Rosetta Stone was discovered in 1799 was it possible to compare the Greek version of the text with the two Egyptian versions. This was an amazing and unusual gift to translators - without the Greek text to compare it with, the Egyptian language and writing system might still be untranslated today.
What are the 3 languages used in hieroglyphics?
Your question indicates that you have misunderstood what you have read or been taught. Hieroglyphs (a noun - only Americans call them "hieroglyphics", which is an adjective form) were used in ancient Egypt to record their own language and no other. Two other scripts (Hieratic and Demotic) evolved from hieroglyphs but still record the ancient Egyptian language. A decree recorded on the Rosetta Stone is written twice in ancient Egyptian (in hieroglyphs and Demotic script) and once in the Greek alphabet - this enabled scholars to compare the known Greek words with the unknown Egyptian equivalents and begin to make a translation. Other cultures used hieroglyphs (otherwise simply known as glyphs), including the Maya, the Hittites and the early Indus Valley culture; all were used to record the language of the people concerned and there is absolutely no connection between the different scripts.
