"AABENM" So inspiring..
Great video, thank you. The quote at the end regarding Young vs Champollion is perfect.
Yodh sound? מותי?! Interesting!
It’s similar to Coptic where it is “yout”
heart!
Horned viper ,,,,(SPERM) ONLY FROM THE FATHER. ???
So what's your reference for the horned viper ? How do you know for sure.. So a feather, a viper, an a loaf of bread mean father huh?? How about a guy with kids? What's that mean? A horned viper? An who wants a horned viper for a father that flys away on feathers with all the 🍞?
Wtf does this even mean
@@cmdrghost365 Part joke part serious... I mean I don't know about their writings an it seems weird to have a picture simplified to the significance of a sound... So how does a person come to that conclusion? Take the "bread" for instance a half sphere could represent anything so whats the process for deciphering such?
Ever heard of the Rosetta Stone? It’s a stone with the same passage written in two forms of Egyptian (hieroglyphic and demotic) as well as Greek. The Greek passage acts as a key for the Egyptian and is what allowed us to decipher hieroglyphics. As a result we’re pretty damn confident in what hieroglyphics say and how they work to the point that modern scholars have found mistakes in ancient works that we are certain are mistakes and not a failure of modern translation.
@@confuzedgraphite Interesting. I'll look into it thanks. Any reference material? That's a big tablet with three languages on it no? So what's your take on all those scrolls their finding?
@@LasVegasVet there’s a lot of documentation about it given how crucial it is to our understanding of ancient Egypt as a whole. The tablet itself is in the British Museum so they’ve got a lot of information published about it probably a good place to go for more info. I’m not quite sure which scrolls you’re referring to, theres the scrolls from Pompeii they’ve been unrolling with the help of AI, there’s the Book Of The Dead scrolls they revealed in Cairo not too long ago. Lots of cool stuff in the archeological departments of the world going on right now!
In Sahidic Coptic, these become ⲥⲟⲛ (son) for brother and ⲥⲱⲛⲉ (sone) for sister
Or, his beloved sister/wife
It does look like an A.
God sat alone before s/he created the sun and moon. The twins. Brother and sister. Husband and wife. The last picture appears to bee the tree of life.
thought i was looking at calculus, oops :)
For those wondering: Originally, brother was pronounced "San", and sister was "Sana(t)", with the stress on the first syllable. In comptic, they become Son and Sone, with the latter having a longer o than the former.
This language is INSANE
I learned this in 2024. Why?
I love the “make me a sandwich” for the female hieroglyph. 😹
It's not a semantic determinative, the "breadloaf" just indicates a T sound, which happens to be the feminine suffix.
@@gleann_cuilinn - Make me a Thandwich? 😹
Thank you
Maybe, he married his sister. Kind of a Vermont deal.
This introduction is htp and nfr
The scribe, Nag, should have registered that down arrow! Microsoft could have owed him a lot of money! Thanks for the engaging video.
Could she have been both or only royalty married siblings? Merci! ❤
As an Egyptian, I love this and want to thank you for your efforts!
Thank you.
It does bring precision on which side of the family is being referenced
❤❤❤
Thank you for all your informative lessons . Keep going.
😎👍🏽
i like ra
😂❤❤
Just saw this video🎉 Mary Victoria
Let's not get confused ❤
The vulture makes a franco-german R (or arabic GH) in early and middle egyptian, but is unvoiced in later egyptian, only denoting a long A sound after it. Thus, Mrndᴣ could be vowelised as Marindᴣā, which in late egyptian would be pronounced [mæɾɪnt'ɑː] which sounds very close to the standard english pronunciation [mə'lɪndə]

Dont know how😢😢😢its hard. I, am 7 but idk know how.😂😢
En este caso, como explica el profesor Josep Cervelló, la serpiente cornuda representa el biconsonántico "it" tal como se usaba en el egipcio del reino antiguo y que, de alguna manera, quedó fosilizado en esta única palabra, a pesar de que en el egipcio clásico del reino medio ya no se usara para este biconsonántico.
😎👍🏽
Hmmm, always thought that -ic words are adjectives. Like "poetic", "Arabic", "sonic". A writing can be hieroglyphic or Arabic. But I didn't think the writing itself would be "hieroglyphics". One hieroglyph, two hieroglyphs. "Learn hieroglyphic writing" or "Learn hieroglyphs". But what do I know? Not an Egyptologist or linguist.
You are correct. As an Egyptologist, I actually wouldn't say "hieroglyphics" in my everyday life, but rather "hieroglyphs." I include the word "hieroglyphics" because it's much more commonly used by most people and so that's what a lot of people search for.
So you studied however many years of Egyptology, then created a channel to teach others, but use the same (mis)information everyone else does because... well, because everyone else does. A missed opportunity. I wonder what Thoth would think about this.
@@sArAh-dj1xw a missed opportunity would be people not learning from me because they can't find my videos. While I generally don't use the word hieroglyphic as a noun, it has been in popular use in English for a long time, so it's actually in dictionaries as a noun now and, thus, actually is proper English.
@VoicesofAncientEgypt Your videos show up whether I write: hieroglyphs father or hieroglyphics father or hieroglyph father. Same for the mother video. Just FYI. So "because they can't find my videos" is just plain wrong.
Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it, David!
❤❤
I still think the viper looks like a slug. I come up with my own names for each hieroglyph, lol.
I do the same with some hieroglyphs! 😂
Thanks so much. Now I understand the little viper anomaly. A friend's name pronounced Atf and you've just given me an idea for his next birthday!
Wonderful!
Great video!
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it!
Theyre weighing shame # its an allegory
Absolutely love this!
