In the time before printing presses and typewriters, humans wanted to make a record of what they did, how and why they did it. It is human nature to record and share, today we use books and computers. Early man was not so different, he wanted to be remembered, he wanted to share his life with those who came after. Hieroglyphics is just that. Each one it's own word, meaning whatever it's author wanted to share.
