There was never any use of prisms in ancient Egypt; although glass-making was known it was confined to small beads, glass vessels and figures of animals and humans. The glass was mixed with a mineral to create faience, which being heavily pigmented can not act as a prism.

In the time before printing presses and typewriters, humans wanted to make a record of what they did, how and why they did it. It is human nature to record and share, today we use books and computers. Early man was not so different, he wanted to be remembered, he wanted to share his life with those who came after. Hieroglyphics is just that. Each one it's own word, meaning whatever it's author wanted to share.

Ra or sometimes spelled as Re, was the Egyptian god of the sun.

The term "hieroglyphic language" refers to a language written using hieroglyphs, which the Compact Oxford English Dictionary defines as "a stylized picture of an object representing a word, syllable, or sound". The most famous is ancient Egyptian; others include ancient Mayan and Hieroglyphic Luwian, an ancient language of Asia Minor (present-day Turkey).

Strictly speaking, "hieroglyphic" is not a useful linguistic classification because it does not describe any intrinsic characteristic of the language itself. Languages written in a particular way may have nothing else at all in common. For example, it is merely a historical accident that cuneiform symbols were used to write the entirely unrelated languages Sumerian, Elamite, Akkadian and Persian, while languages related to Akkadian, such as Hebrew and Phoenician, were written alphabetically.

There is only one African continent and that is Africa. Hieroglyphics are found in Egypt, which is a country on the continent of Africa.

Hieroglyphics are a form of symbols that the ancient Egyptians use to write with. Most of it is to be found carved into the buildings that they left behind.

the Rosetta Stone helped explain hieroglyphics

he gives us all good inventions like friends and crack and did u see that man who looks like your mother

Rosetta Stone. It was a stone found in a pyramid which had three languages written on it one was greek and the other two were forms of heiroglyphics. Since we had a understanding of the greek language we were roughly able to find the meanings or heiroglyphs

The Mesopotamian type of writing was cuneiform, which consists of wedge shaped symbols or clusters of symbols that represent words, things, etc. in other words, a type of alphabet. The Egyptian hieroglyphics were straight pictures or symbols, a type of picture writing.

the symbol is ? which became Qoph, and then Q.You may have to copy this, and paste it into a document and enlarge it to see it. If you cannot see it, it means you have no Egyptian fonts installed on your computer.

Origin unknown.

Jean-François Champollion was a French Egyptologist who, in 1922, "translated" the Rosetta Stone. The Rosetta Stone is a rock on which the same ancient edict was carved in three different languages, including ancient Greek and Egyptian Hieroglyphs. Champillion was able to use the Greek to show how to "decode" the hieroglyphs and, from that, formed the basic understanding of ancient Egyptian writing. His work is still used today by Egyptologists.

There isn't a single hieroglyph for "strengh." (Most words were written with more than one glyph.) However, there are a couple of glyphs that were commonly used as determinatives in the spelling of words involving strength. One is a man standing upright and wielding a stick with both hands (A24 in Sir Alan Gardiner's catalog of hieroglyphs) and one is a forearm holding a stick in its fist (Gardiner's D40). A determinative is a glyph included in a spelling not for its sound value but rather to indicate the word's category of meaning.
