then began to recede to its lowest point sometime between April and June.

Hieroglyph✱ The word HIEROGLYPH

literally means "sacred carvings". The Egyptians first used hieroglyphs for inscriptions carved or painted on temple walls.

✱ This form of PICTORIAL WRITING was also used on:

✱ Sheets of papyrus

✱ Wooden boards covered with a stucco wash

✱ Potsherds

✱ Fragments of limestone

✱ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2sj_Z6lJdo 32

✱ To make the paper-like writing material, the exterior of the PAPYRUS stem was discarded and the interior was cut into thin strips.

✱ The strips were soaked in water and beaten to break down and flatten the fibers.

✱ They were then layered crosswise and lengthwise to produce a sheet, which was beaten again to mesh the strips together.

✱ Weights were placed on the sheets while they dried.

✱ Once dry, the sheets were rolled up and stored until needed.
