    ANCIENT EGYPT: Understanding How Hieroglyphics Really Worked🐫📜
    Dec 27 2025

    Get ready for another BIG and BRILLIANT journey through time, space, and the human mind on this week’s Science Weekly!

    We’re heading back to Ancient Egypt to unlock the secrets of hieroglyphics, a mysterious language that was lost for thousands of years. Then we zoom inside your head to explore the incredible science of the brain and how this squishy, sparky organ really works.

    In Science in the News, robotic dogs could soon be helping to fight wildfires, scientists in India have discovered a galaxy that’s an incredible 12 billion years old, and Dr Matilda Brindle joins Dan to investigate the science behind the very first human kiss, believed to date back millions of years.

    We also answer your questions... Charlie wants to know how race cars go so fast, and Mercedes Durham from Cardiff University explains why the Ancient Egyptians wrote in hieroglyphics.

    Dangerous Dan returns with a tiny dinosaur with a big reputation, the Compsognathus.

    And in Battle of the Sciences, Daniel Glaser makes the case for neurology, revealing the electrifying science that powers your brain.

    Plus, we head back to Deep Space High for Space For All, discovering what kinds of space careers are perfect for people who love languages.

    This week, we learn about:

    • How hieroglyphics worked in Ancient Egypt

    • How the human brain sends messages

    • Robotic dogs and fighting wildfires

    • A galaxy older than most of the universe

    • The surprising history of the first kiss

    • How race cars reach extreme speeds

    All that and more on this week’s Science Weekly!

According to the presenter the primary colours are red, blue & GREEN!! 🤬 how did that get through production? What other inaccuracies are they spouting?

Also, the only way for fans to get a question read out is via a 5 star review. It’s a bit disappointing that reviews are used this way…
