Egyptian Hieroglyphics was the formal way of writing in Ancient Egypt. It was a system of pictures where each one stood for a specific sound, not a word like Europeans originally though. However, a simplified Demotic writing system was also added in later Egyptian history for everyday writing. Formal documents were usually in hieroglyphics. The Rosetta Stone, which evetually allowed for the translation of hieroglyphics, contained both hieroglyphics and demotic.
