Best Answer

Writing in English or more originally, the Phoenicians' way, was (and obviously still is) phonetic. Which is where we get the word 'phonetic' (from the ancient Phoenicians). Each letter represents a sound, which we piece together, forming a series of sounds, which ultimately have a meaning.

Hieroglyphics were not phonetic. They had symbols that represented specific things in Egyptian times.
