The Egyptians developed a hieroglyphic writing system.
There were over 5,000 glyphs used at some point or other during the history of hieroglyphic writing in Egypt, of which 700-800 were in common use during the classical Middle Egyptian period. Most Egyptian glyphs represented either whole words, ideas, or combinations of sounds, but a small number were used to write single consonants, and these constitute the so-called "hieroglyphic alphabet". Middle Egyptian had 24 or 25 separate consonant sounds (depending on whether one distinguishes the sounds transliterated 'z' and 's', which had been separate in Old Egyptian), and several of these had alternative glyphs, yielding an alphabet of 29 separate symbols. The "alphabet" used to write foreign names in inscriptions such as the Rosetta Stone consisted of this list plus symbols for 'o' and 'l', which were not written in native Egyptian words.
