In 1799, key to decipherment discovered was the Rosetta Stone.
Because of this they found hieroglyphs were mainly phonetic not symbolic signs. The reason hieroglyphs became unknown for fourteen hundred years was because of conquest, hellenization, and then spread of Christianity.
Silverman says the ancient Egyptians themselves referred to their pictographic script as medou netjer meaning “words of the gods”. Then the Greeks described it as sacred letters/carvings. Philosophers thought mistakenly they represented ideas and concepts becoming symbolic in nature. “To symbolize the cosmic god, or fate…they draw a star, because the forethought of god preordains victory, by which the movement of the stars and the whole universe is accomplished”. -Silverman info on ancient Egypt
