Ancient Egyptian Script

	This is Hieroglyph. Hieroglyph is one of the ancient Egyptian pictograms. This script was written at an important situation such as sanctuary, grave, mural, religious document, and official epigram. It had a religious role like a spell because it was said to have big power even if it was not uttered. In 19 century, Champollion, a French archaeologist, ascertained it by deciphering Rosetta Stone. I have begun to study this script so that I can understand what it says when I go to Egypt someday.
	This is Hieratic. Hieratic is also one of the ancient Egyptian pictograms. This is simplified Hieroglyph. This script was used by flamens and scribers. This is read from right to left. This is useful when people wrote scripts on papyrus.  This was used in Egypt and Nubia. Hieratic is derived from grammata hieratika which is Greek. I want to study this script when I finish learning Hieroglyph to some extent.
	This is Demotic. Demotic is also one of the ancient Egyptian pictograms. This is simplified Hieratic. This became standard script in 600 B.C. around Egypt. This is like Coptic. This is famous by Rosetta Stone, which is in British Museum. Rosetta Stone is separated into 3 parts, and those are Hieroglyph, Domotic, and Greek from up to bottom. I want to see Rosetta Stone in Britain Museum when I go to Britain.
