The symbols of writing began with drawings of people and animals on rocks and pottery. These drawings then evolved into letters, and later into words and phonetic values. The scripts varied: "Hieroglyphic" for sacred texts, "Hieratic" for religious texts, and "Demotic" for daily transactions. Finally, "Coptic," which was written with Greek letters. Ancient Egyptian writing contributed to preserving culture and facilitating communication between generations and peoples.
