How are the Egyptian alphabet and the Arabic alphabet alike?
There is no such thing as an Egyptian alphabet, so you cannot compare the two. Ancient Egyptian used thousands of pictures that represented ideas as well as consonants. The Arabic alphabet consists of 28 consonants. There are no similarities, except that Egyptian was occasionally written right to left, just as Arabic is.

What is the place value for Egyptian hieroglyphics?
I guess you are asking about ancient Egyptian numbers. They did not use a "place value" numeric system, which is why they had no need for a "zero" in their numbers.Think about the modern European/American system: starting from the right, the columns indicate units, then tens, then hundreds, then thousands and so on, but always using the same set of numbers from 0 to 9 no matter which column you look at.The ancient Egyptians used completely differenthieroglyphs to indicate units (1 to 9), tens, hundreds, thousands; their numbers could be written from right to left, or left to right, or vertically downwards - and still mean exactly the same numeric value. For us, 15769 is not the same thing as 96751, but in the Egyptian system the "1" would always mean 10,000, the "5" would always mean 5,000 and so on, because of the signs used to write them.
Why did the stylistic characteristics of ancient Egyptian art change relatively little over time?
It did change, but only slightly. Egyptian cultural and religious beliefs made change very difficult - almost a criminal offence. The idea of ma'at (truth, righteousness, justice, balance, order, morality and doing the right thing) was at the heart of everything in ancient Egypt - change was simply not acceptable and it would be an insult to the gods and the people.This is why the ancient Egyptian language, art, farming and architecture changed only very slightly over 3,000 years.
