In Egyptian hieroglyphs, the symbol for the number 100,000 was represented by a figure of a frog, known as a "ḥqꜣ." This symbol was part of their numeral system, where different symbols represented various values, often combined to form larger numbers. The frog was chosen likely due to its association with fertility and abundance in the Nile region.

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.
Around 700 common symbols. Actually, taking into account all the centuries during which Egyptian hieroglyphs were used, there were more than 5,000 separate characters, or glyphs. However, many of these were late developments and/or rarely used. Estimates of the number of glyphs used during the classical "Middle Egyptian" period of the language (roughly 2000 - 1300 BCE) run much smaller, between 700 and 800.
There are only about 700 different symbols that were commonly used, but the total number of symbols used is unknown.
In ancient Egyptian numerals, the number 3067 would be represented using a combination of symbols. The Egyptians used different symbols for units (1), tens (10), hundreds (100), and thousands (1,000). Thus, 3067 would be depicted with three symbols for 1,000 (representing 3,000), six symbols for 100 (representing 600), and seven symbols for 10 (representing 60), along with seven individual unit symbols (for 7). Each category would be represented by its respective hieroglyphs, arranged in a way that indicated their values.

The hieroglyphic symbol for the heel bone in ancient Egyptian writing is an image of a foot with a prominent heel depicted. This symbol was used to represent concepts related to walking, standing, or stability. It may also be part of larger hieroglyphic combinations with other symbols to convey more complex meanings related to movement or physical actions.

The ancient Egyptian is an example of an empire that found honeybees. The insects in question (Apis spp) number among frequent, important symbols within the hieroglyphic language of the ancient Egyptians. Beekeeping for beeswax and honey tracks back at least to 2500 B.C. in ancient Egypt.

100000
The Egyptian number sstem started around 3000BC abou 15013 years ago. It started withe basic symbols like a staff or straight line for 1 a heel bone for two etc.
The next largest number after 100000 is 100001.
