Excerpt from Elementary Egyptian Grammar The hieroglyphic signs are pictures of human figures, animals, birds, and the common Objects Of daily life among the people, and in their early. Forms they throw great light on the civilisation of that distant time. The writing is usually from right to left (this is invariably the case in hieratic and demotic), but sometimes for decorative reasons the hieroglyphs are written from left to right.
