Welcome

Over the centuries there has been many spectacular cultures with their own unique symbols and alphabets but there has been none as spectacular as the Egyptians with their heiroglyphics.
Heiroglyphics were used as a written language. Each of the symbols stood for a sound, unlike English, heiroglyphics were used phonetically.
If you click one of the links to the side you will be taken to a page with the relevant symbol, its equivelant English letter and examples of what it should sound like.

At a later date Gods and Goddesses will be added as well as other Egyptian Symbols.
