Hieroglyphic

There is an eight-and nine-line hieroglyphic inscription on both steles.

The ancient scarab, made of a mineral called steatite, contains a hieroglyphic inscription saying that it was created for a deceased man named 'Amenemhat'.

Some key sights at Copan include a hieroglyphic staircase, a testament to the history of the Maya people.

A later, two line inscription has also been found at Wadi el-Hol in Central Egypt. Based on hieroglyphic prototypes, but also including entirely new symbols, each sign apparently stood for a consonant rather than a word: the basis of an alphabetic system.

Artificial incubation of poultry was practised in China around 246 BC and around at least 400 BC in Egypt. citation The Egyptians also made use of birds in their hieroglyphic scripts, many of which, though stylized, are still identifiable to species.

A separate relief on one of the bases of the Osirid pillars with an accompanying hieroglyphic text clearly identifying the person depicted as a captive Peleset chief is of a bearded man without headdress.

As the stone presented a hieroglyphic and a demotic version of the same text in parallel with a Greek translation, plenty of material for falsifiable studies in translation was suddenly available.

As the traditional religious establishments were disbanded, knowledge of hieroglyphic writing was mostly lost.

As used in the previous sentence, the word hieroglyphic is an adjective (in the same way photographic is an adjective), but is often erroneously used as a noun in place of hieroglyph.

Budge (1913) pp. 2–3 The full length of the hieroglyphic text and the total size of the original stele, of which the Rosetta Stone is a fragment, can be estimated based on comparable stelae that have survived, including other copies of the same order.

Clarke (1990) p. 222 Mathematical notation was decimal, and based on hieroglyphic signs for each power of ten up to one million.

He announced that he had concluded to a Mycenaean hieroglyphic script of about 60 characters.

Many logograms have an ideographic component (Chinese "radicals", hieroglyphic "determiners").

Many signs in hieroglyphic as well as in cuneiform writing could be used either logographically or phonetically.

One word is 'house', and its hieroglyphic representation is straightforward: pr:Z1 Here the 'house' hieroglyph works as a logogram: it represents the word with a single sign.

Only the last 14 lines of the hieroglyphic text can be seen; all of them are broken on the right side, and 12 of them on the left.

Quirke and Andrews (1989) p. 10 Richard Parkinson points out that the hieroglyphic version strays from archaic formalism and occasionally lapses into language closer to that of the demotic register that the priests more commonly used in everyday life.

Robinson (2009) pp. 59–61 main Hieroglyphic text Silvestre de Sacy eventually gave up work on the stone, but he was to make another contribution.

Since each of them had been carefully labeled with a hieroglyphic inscription, he hoped to match the names with those of ancient tribes and peoples mentioned in Greek and Hebrew texts.

The Egyptian hieroglyphic writing system was the first notation system to have phonetic values.
