Fun fact. Hieroglyphs can be written left-to-right or right-to-left. You have to distinguish the direction they should be read by the facing of the animal/creature/human used as a character. They will always “look” towards the beginning of the sentence, so in the depicted case, the intended direction is left-to-right.
There are stone carvings in various scripts all the way up to Ancient Greek that are written in an alternating way: first row right to left, then left to right and so on. This style is called boustrophedon.

Were they written in boustrophedon?
