The Ancient Egyptians writing was called hieroglyphics or hieroglyphs, just like ours is the alphabet.

The Egyptian letters or symbols and their origins were quite complex.

Some symbols represented letters or groups of letters.

Others represented ideas like an action, an animal, an object, etc. These are called determitives(they are placed after the written in letters version of the word, and clarify the meaning of the words).
