The first Egyptian writing was made up of rows of pictures called hieroglyphs. Each picture stood for; an object, an idea, or the sound of a word. Many of the hieroglyphs are quite complicated- they must have taken ages to draw!

The earliest writing was based on pictographs. Pictographs were used to communicate basic information about crops and taxes. Over time, the need for writing changed and the signs developed into a script we call cuneiform.
