Hieroglyphs continue to be studied today and many universities offer courses in the ancient Egyptian writing system and language. Swansea University in Wales, for example, offers a Masters Degree in Ancient Egyptian Culture which includes reading monumental inscriptions.
Since hieroglyphs also formed the inspiration for early alphabets in the Middle East, it is possible to trace some of the Egyptian signs in modern Latin writing (the English alphabet) and to trace the direct development of written characters from hieroglyphs to early Arabic and Phoenician letters, through Greek to Latin.
