Can you spell Alphabet Egyptian hieroglyphics and match then in English?
The Egyptians never developed an alphabet - this is a deliberate falsification on the part of certain misleading American Internet sites. There were many different types of signs used in hieroglyphs, including some that stood for a single consonant sound. These were sometimes used to spell out foreign words and names (such as Cleopatra, Ptolemy and autocrator).This does not mean that the ancient Egyptians ever used an alphabet - they did not. Those web pages that give fake alphabets in hieroglyphs are simply fooling gullible people. They include signs for a, e, i o and u which are nothing to do with ancient Egypt or hieroglyphs, since hieroglyphs did not write any vowel sounds.It is therefore impossible to "match Egyptian alphabet hieroglyphs in English".

Which people were the first to make use of the alphabet?
The history of the alphabet started in ancient Egypt. By 2700 BCE Egyptian writing had a set of some 24 hieroglyphs which are called uniliterals, to represent syllables that begin with a single consonant of their language.
What is O in hieroglyphics?
Hieroglyphs did not include any vowel signs - just as in ancient Phoenician, ancient Arabic and ancient Hebrew writing. There are therefore no signs that mean a, e, i, o or u.In some misleading web sites the English vowels are represented by hieroglyphs that actually stand for consonant sounds, some of them not found in English. For example the "lasso" sign (really a looped rope) is really the two-consonant sign with the sound value w3; this is often used by ignorant and unscrupulous websites to represent the letter o.The moral of the story is that websites can not be relied upon to give accurate and correct readings of hieroglyphs - use books such as "How to Read Egyptian Hieroglyphs" by Mark Collier and Bill Manley instead.

What is the rossetta stone and how was it used?
The Rosetta Stone is an ancient Egyptian granodiorite stele inscribed with a decree issued at Memphis in 196 BC on behalf of King Ptolemy V. The decree appears in three scripts: the upper text is Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, the middle portion demotic script, and the lowest Ancient Greek. Because it presents essentially the same text in all three scripts (with some minor differences between them), it provided the key to the modern understanding of Egyptian hieroglyphs.From Wikipedia
