              Hieroglyphics is a system of writing used in ancient Egypt. It uses pictorial symbols that represent different meanings or sounds. It is difficult to read or decipher. Every single sound made has a specific symbol. You could go online and search on any popular engine on how to translate to Egyptian and you will get software where you type something in English and you get the Egyptian version of it.

              These pictorial symbols differ from birds to leaves and to weapons etc. they also include ancient household items that were used in those times. They are not easy to read as everyone's description of the same symbol is not the same. A lot archaeologists have published books on hieroglyphics which range between 5$ to 20$. You could purchase them online and refer to it. Hieroglyphics is a language which is easy to learn but impossible to master.
