Did ancient Nubians use hieroglyphics?

Ancient Nubians developed their own writing systems, influenced by Egyptian hieroglyphics, but they did not use Egyptian hieroglyphics directly. They created a script known as Meroitic hieroglyphs, which was used in the Kingdom of Meroë from around 300 BCE to 400 CE. This system included both hieroglyphic and cursive forms, distinct from Egyptian writing. Thus, while Nubians were inspired by Egyptian hieroglyphics, they utilized their own unique script.
