Egyptian hieroglyphics appear in several stages: the first dynasty (3110-2884 BC), when they were already perfected; the Old Kingdom; the Middle Kingdom, when they were beginning to go out of use; the New Empire, when they were no longer well understood by the scribes; and the late hieroglyphics (from 500 BC), when the use of them was a tour de force.
