The ancient Egyptians believed that it was important to record and communicate information about religion and government. Thus, they invented written scripts that could be used to record information.       
The most famous of all ancient Egyptian scripts is hieroglyphic. However, throughout three thousand years of ancient Egyptian civilization, at least three other scripts were used for different purposes. Using these scripts, scribes were able to preserve the beliefs, history, and ideas of ancient Egypt on the walls of temples, tombs, and on papyrus scrolls.
     
The three types of Egyptian scripts are hieratic, demotic, and Coptic. Some of them are easier to understand, for example in hieratic a star looks like a normal star but in the other writings it could look different.
         

The writings of ancient Egypt is truly amazing. After these amazing writings came a even more amazing script and that is the Arabic script used to write the Arabic language, which is commonly used in Egypt today.
