Same here. By around 3rd grade I had taught myself how to phonetically read/write hieroglyphs. So I would write all sorts of English stuff in hieroglyphs, but I still couldn’t actually understand ancient Egyptian.
somehow my brain did a flip and i did the same but with nordic runes (elder futhark to be exact). now i’m catching up and trying to learn some ancient egyptian in my free time
i was assigned Ancient Egypt pretty early on, i made my mum read to me things like the process of mummification for bedtime stories
