WORD SIGNS IN EGYPTIAN LITERATURE

A kind of egyptian hieroglyph is called a "word-sign".A word-sign is a picture that stands for a whole word.Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs were
complex.
The ancient Egyptians had a solution for
that problem. They used something called
determinatives. A determinative is a
picture that tells the reader that the idea
being expressed is abstract or very hard to
show with just a picture.
