These hieroglyphs were carved into stone or walls and outlined in gold to make them more visible. Hieroglyphics were part of the ancient Egyptian writing system, with each symbol representing a word, syllable, or sound. The symbols included various birds, human figures, and geometric patterns, and were often used to record historical, religious, legal, and other important information. The text in the image might tell a historical story, a sacrificial ritual, or a prayer.
