HIEROGLYPH      




A hieroglyph or sacred writing is a character of the ancient Egyptian writing system. Hieroglyph inscribed with hieroglyphic symbols, which also a figure or symbol with a hidden meaning hard to read. Logographic scripts that are pictographic in form in away reminiscent of ancient Egyptian are also sometimes called "hieroglyps". In Neoplatonism, especially during the Renaissance, a "hieroglyph" was an artistic representation of an esoteric idea, which Neoplatonists believed actual Egyptian hieroglyphs to be. The word hieroglyphics may refer to a hieroglyphic script.
