<h3>📖 Reading Time</h3>
<div class="reading-box">

<p>The ancient Egyptians did not write with letters like A, B, and C. They wrote with little pictures called <strong>hieroglyphics</strong>! There were more than 700 picture signs — birds, snakes, eyes, water waves, and more. Some pictures stood for sounds, and some stood for whole words.</p>

<p>Writing with hieroglyphics was hard. It took years to learn! Special writers called <strong>scribes</strong> went to school for a long time to master it. Scribes were very important people — they wrote letters for the pharaoh, kept track of grain, and recorded Egypt's stories.</p>

<p>Egyptians carved hieroglyphics on temple walls and painted them inside tombs. They also wrote on <strong>papyrus</strong>, a paper made from smashed river plants. Our word 'paper' comes from 'papyrus'!</p>
