Handwriting

It is very important to have great handwriting in hieroglyphics. This would be hard for me to do because i have terrible handwriting. If one person messes up the writing style, then others might copy him. A whole new style would develop, or maybe not a whole new one, but it would still throw some people off! That would just lead to confusion. Some hieroglyphics not only stand for letters, but for sounds. That is what lead Champollion to deciphering hieroglyphics.
