Ancient Egyptians wrote with hieroglyphs because it was what they knew. Every early writing system we know of (e.g., Egyptian, Mesopotamian, Central American, Chinese) began by using pictures of recognizable objects. Of these, only the Egyptian pictures remained recognizable instead of evolving into simplified, abstract shapes. This may be because the Egyptians saw their writing system as being of divine origin (their name for it, mdw nTr, means “divine speech”), or simply because the Egyptian civilization was one of the most conservative that the world has ever known.
