Heiroglyphs

The hieroglyphs displayed here were photographed from tablets and tombs displayed in the British Museum Ancient Egyptian halls. Some of the originals are very small, and by enlargement we can appreciate the skill and artistry of the craftsmen that carved them, many thousands of years ago.

Notes for hieroglyphics give an explanation of the hieroglyphs and the terms 'Determinitive', 'Phonetic', and 'Logogram'
