SCRIBES

They were! Only very important people such as the royal

family, priests, and government workers knew how to write hieroglyphs.

Other people who were trained to read and write hieroglyphs were called scribes.

Scribes went to school for years just to learn how to read and write them!

Those hieroglyphs look really hard!!

CARTOUCHE A cartouche is a design drawn

around the names of people at the top of the hierarchy in Ancient Egypt.

These cartouches were seen as symbols of eternity.

Drawing a cartouche arounda person’s name would make that person live forever and be protected forever.
