Writing

The Egyptians invented a form of writing called hieroglyphics. Hieroglyphs are little pictures. Some stand for an object. For example, a picture of a cow means 'cow.' But they also stand for sounds. In English, you could use the sign of a cow to write the first half of the word 'cow-ard.' The same sign would stand for different words that sound alike, such as 'see' and 'sea.' People wrote with a reed pen, or fine brush, and ink.
