What hieroglyphics went on a mummy case?
The names and titles of the deceased person would feature in a broad band down the centre, along with standard formulas such as "may he/she live for ever". If the person was royalty their names were written inside an oval frame known as a cartouche.
Around the edge would be standard texts giving protection to the body and stating the names of protector gods and goddesses. Symbols of life, protection and eternity would be prominent in the designs painted on the case and the person's names would be repeated - the Egyptians believed that a person's soul would live for ever as long as their name was remembered, so ensuring that the name was recorded many times helped to ensure their continued existence.

What discovery enabled scholars to decipher Egyptian hieroglyphics?
The Rosetta Stone was a carved slab, called a stele, which was written during the reign of Ptolemy V. in 196 CE. It was discovered by Napoleon's army in 1799 at Fort Julien, near Rashid (Rosetta), Egypt.
The writing on the stele had the same exact message written in three separate scripts (hieroglyphic, Egyptian Demotic, and Greek), and because Greek was a fully known language, it provided the key to deciphering the ancient hieroglyphic writing of Egypt.
Furthermore, all the proper names were circled in a format called a "cartouche" which made them easy to identify and decode.

What is the Egyptian term for hieroglyphics?
The Egyptians called hieroglyphics mdw nTr, which means "divine words." Since vowels weren't written, it's hard to know exactly how this was pronounced. Capital 'T' represents a sort of 'ch' sound, and Egyptologists conventionally insert the vowel 'e' between consonants and treat 'w' as a 'u'. Under this scheme the pronunciation is "medu netcher."

Nobody in Pre-Dynastic Egypt made a decision to use hieroglyphs instead of any other form of writing - for them it was the only form of writing and there was no other choice.

Did the ancient Egyptians know about DNA that why the performed mummification on king?
in answer (as far as i know) to your question i have seen the double helix structure documented in heliography in great detail in various pyramids, furthermore and even more mind blowing is the fact that they also knew the exact position, And size (to scale anyway) of all the planets in our solar system including planet X (Niburi)

also the Mayans used D.M.T also and knew things that they could not have seen by eye.
another weird connection i figured out
i therefore believe that had somthing to do with it <as both these culters spent a hell of a lot of time and effort building massive pyramids> and they both knew soo much stuff thousands upon thousands of years before we even came up with the lichenology to see the planes - there knowledge ether came from entity during dmt trip > or *aliens helped them , not much but thats all i can be in any way *sure of
