Does using pictures instead of letters for writing sound like fun to you? That’s what the people in Egypt did a long time ago. This ancient system of writing is called hieroglyphics.
In the old Egyptian system, each picture stood for an idea. These picture words were carved on temple walls and in other places where people gathered. They told stories about the Egyptian gods and rulers. They told stories about animals. The picture words were also used to keep records of taxes and other business information.
You might find it hard to read Egyptian hieroglyphics even if you understood the pictures, because the picture words were written from right to left.
