Hi - You can watch part 1 (and parts 3-24) on our website here: www.TheGreatCoursesPlus.com/show/decoding_the_secrets_of_egyptian_hieroglyphs?US_OnlineVideo&SocialMediaEditorialTH-cam&
He has a great advice, though. When I was student many years ago, during boring lectures, I used to draw various shapes, mazes, characters, fancy curves, arrows, etc. Had I knew hieroglyphs, I would have practiced and made some ornaments in my notebooks ;) It is an interesting language and the vulture is a great start for the alphabet ;)
If you are learning more then you need to know that you should not believe anything. There is no movie in which everything they say is true.You only have to believe in prayer in the temple.
@@sakkmatt Indeed, no field of human activity is true for everyone, except for science & technics. If you are looking for certitude, go with one of those two. Bye the way, this video is about linguistics & history, which are both more sciences than arts - so more true (than differently accepted, for everyone)
I never thought I could ever understand Egyptian hieroglyphs so clearly as with this video lesson, this is a most skilled teacher, thanks for making the ancient and truly Egyptian culture accessible to us all! Shared, undoubtedly:-)!
Even easier if you do it the correct way! Cymroglyphics uses the correct language which is cymraic (Cymraeg a.k.a. “Welsh”). Find out how at BritainsHiddenHistoryRoss.
The homework hieroglyphics reads " chicken legs in water covering the chicken. When it boils, remove from heat. Eat quickly with a glass of water, cover food with a lid. Served on a tray."
David Arrowsmith You did not think ancient Egyptian looked difficult ? Also..... "learnt" is not correct. You had learned...perhaps instead of learning ancient Egyptian, you should try modern English. Just a suggestion
carmen sierra Actually learnt is correct, as well. You can use learned or learnt in that particular context. Learnt is used more often in British English, whereas American English uses learned. Sounds like you should try educating yourself a little more before opening your mouth!
they are interesting because it's actually an ancient form of modern day emojis. I know it's hard to believe, but humour has existed from the beginning of mankind
Bob, OMG☺️ I've missed your homework questions! I haven't seen you in anything since the '90s (but I gave the tv away in 1998) you're looking great in 2022. I'm excited to watch this on my phone, so happy to see that Bob is still doing docs. Thank you for the upload 🌼
Ty as a kid our teacher taught us some of the Egyptian gods and their names so watching this was like a flash back, ima go get coffee and write it all down I have subscribed.
I was looking for the Sacred Sacrab Beetle, ended up here and stayed for the duration, this is fascinating I'd like to learn more. I subscribed. Thanks sir.
Bob Brier is an absolutely delightful lecturer! I have just reached the end of the course. Absolutely invaluable detail. Great reference. You feel a little sad when it's over, but if you get the recordings, he says, you can watch it again. He says, I'll see you again soon!
Is this the man who did a real mummification? If so, I attended his lecture at UT Knoxville and loved meeting him. Would live to know more about him and his courses.

AVALITE Empire so great to know the comparisons, thank you! I love entomology! Do you believe that our first language was one of sound? Or souls just knowing, and reading each other’s hearts? Regardless, it’s so thrilling for me to understand of the first languages, and your tips are appreciated. 💯
Enjoyed your book narrative on the history of ancient Egypt on audible immensely,it was my first in depth study of these ancient peoples and I learned so much with your insights.
Yesterday I stumbled on the reason we call the oval line around a Pharaoh's name a cartouche (the line represented a rope to the ancient Egyptians). It was coined by the French antiquarians accompanying Napoleon during his ill fated invasion of Egypt. The shape reminded one Frenchman of the silk powder cartridges used in a ship's guns. Hence the French word for cartridge, cartouche. :-)
Ancient Hieroglyphics is a language comprised of symbols to help bring together the different languages of what the people spoke at that time. It was used to eliminate the chaos of confusion and the different understandings and comprehensions. I would say it acted like bridges to help bring everyone together.🖤❤💛🤍💙
Thank you Doctor Briar! This is the best Egypt language class I have ever seen! My biggest wish is to meet you one day and shake your hand Doctor! Thanks again for all your great work. Hello from Colorado ♥️💙🇺🇸💙♥️☮
He said symbols are sometimes stacked "to make it look good". I would think it was more about conserving precious writing space. This was literally written in stone after all.
That may be true, but he also emphasized how important aesthetics were to them. The style of the thing mattered a lot, and it wasn't as interesting to look at just stringing them out. I think they really do look better stacked, you know?
i dont want to misslead you but i think there is some words that are stacked purely estheticaly, like they mix sequence of letters just becouse it would look good
Although it may look like "well if it`s a long dead language no one really knows what it was and why and how it was used, so my guess is as good as anyone`s", the reality is a bit different. Scientific work is not just some guessing - be it chemistry, anthropology or linguistics. People study hard first, and then work even harder, checking and rechecking their theories, there`s scientific method behind everything that is done, so normally when you hear someone with a degree uttering just one word - it has a huge amount of work to back it up. While I do not know Dr Brier from Adam, I still feel that it is very unlikely that he, being a scholar, would just say something without being sure.
If that's a concern you have. The ancient Egyptian had two other scripts they'd use for every day mundane things. This particular script was just the prestige script.
you need to learn the correct stroke paths. See if you draw a rectangle the modern way in your hieroglyphics someone will come along and dismiss it because of your insane modern styling
So Egyptian hieroglyphics are written by sound and not just by picture. Egyptians didn't use letter vowels but drawings that represented vowels and alphabet. A is a vulture drawing, B is a foot, C is a circle with lines, wow, amazing. I will come back to this.Memorizing and drawing to interpret the drawings would be the 🔑.Because each picture represents an alphabet to form words.My memory is good and I love to draw, this is definitely a challenge. I hope I am interpreting this right. I learned a few ancient alphabet today.Thank U for sharing!
Egyptonian hieroglyphs are imagesigns, egyptonians' writing is an imagewriting. Don't have to dekode, transform or explain it. Hungarian language is also imagelanguage thats why the hieroglyphs are readable in hungarian language continouesly. This was János Borbola's huge discovery.
I also heard that which ever way the bird is facing that the side you start reading on is this true? Like if the bird is facing to the left you read from left to right and if the bird is facing right you read from right to left
I've yet to watch this course but I know he mentions the fact about the birds in another course, The History of Ancient Egypt, within the first 10 episodes. I *think* the episode about the Rosetta Stone.
Ok so it says: "Shine sun sky or rise sun sky", here's my perception of it, the opener could be "they" instead of "the", also the "shine" could be a verb making it "They rise sun in sky" or "They shine sun in sky". Is this an actual hieroglyph by the way?
Just finished my uni for the year and was looking for something to do, i found an interest in ancient writing and discovered this video, you got me hooked doctor thank you so much!
Most Amazing Teacher !!! Once the whole series was available free on TH-cam!!! I was lucky to watch it before some years ago,and I took notes by writing down!!! A most excellent series of lessons! Where can I watch again that series of Lessons???Anybody know??? I wish he Would made a second series of lessons more advanced !! It would be a treasure!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hi there! Thank you for your comment. We are glad you enjoyed this series before and ready to watch it again. You can watch the "Ancient Egyptian Alphabet" course on Wondrium: www.wondrium.com/lp/t2/youtubemain?Video&TH-cam&
Sir, I have a question! Don't mind me by asking but I want to know that...you are writing the alphabets a little different they are in exact from, I mean symbols are not same to same! But if I can draw it same to same! Is there any problem?
He’s writing them in hieratic script I believe, which is the cursive form of written ancient egyptian- the stuff you’d find being used by anybody who is literate, rather than hieroglyphs, which is usually carved into some sort of stone.

Lol
I Totally Disagree With Your Explanation Of These Hieroglyphs, Except For 2.
You have to pay for more videos in the series. This video was just a tease. But a goood tease :-)
*Me having assignments due*
Also me: the perfect time for me to learn Hieroglyphs.
He has a great advice, though.

I know Dr. Brier. He is the most amazing teacher I've ever met.
Len Seidel you are so lucky!
Yes what a great teacher. You can tell he really loves his subject. I'm sure his students couldn't possibly fail with his passion and skill. :)
He seems really cool!

it's need to focus on
eye river bird?
The fact that Bob Brier is still alive and hosts shows like this is probably the best news I have heard this week.
Can’t believe I’ve been an Egyptophile all these years and never learned this! Good lesson.
Producer: how many Egyptian walls with writings do u want?
The Great Courses Plus: Yes
One of the most finest and engaging teacher I have ever experienced. My respect.
I started reading the glyphs behind you
Hhhhhahaaahha me too 😂😂😂
Thats cool, taking notes . That's alright, I was taking photos for a background.😂
The homework hieroglyphics reads " chicken legs in water covering the chicken. When it boils, remove from heat. Eat quickly with a glass of water, cover food with a lid. Served on a tray."
I am laughing way to hard ..... Thats great
Way better !
Logically correct lol
😂
Em r
Great tutorial. I didn't realise how complex ancient Egyptian is. I learnt a lot, thanks.
David Arrowsmith
You did not think ancient Egyptian looked difficult ?
Also..... "learnt" is not correct. You had learned...perhaps instead of learning ancient Egyptian, you should try modern English.
Just a suggestion
+Carmen
Prey tell us what is "Pedantic Douchebag" in ancient Egyptian.
carmen sierra, "learnt" is not incorrect. Do a simple search before offering your "suggestions".
They also wrote in Demotic which is a lot simpler
carmen sierra Actually learnt is correct, as well. You can use learned or learnt in that particular context. Learnt is used more often in British English, whereas American English uses learned. Sounds like you should try educating yourself a little more before opening your mouth!
I love the way this teacher conveys a message. This is the greatest teacher if you ask me.
Yes, but how do we know for certain that this is the correct way to read them?
@@TheDwynn85 That’s what I’m wondering too.
Always fascinated me this Egyptian writing, it's amazing 👁️
they are interesting because it's actually an ancient form of modern day emojis. I know it's hard to believe, but humour has existed from the beginning of mankind
Bob, OMG☺️ I've missed your homework questions! I haven't seen you in anything since the '90s (but I gave the tv away in 1998) you're looking great in 2022. I'm excited to watch this on my phone, so happy to see that Bob is still doing docs. Thank you for the upload 🌼
Thank you for posting these! Much appreciated! Our children loved it.

Oh man this was way better then what I’ve been watching. Thank you so much for that break down. I think it’s finally clicking! 👍
Dr Brier is a good instructor. He is knowledgeable and is interesting to listen to
Thanks for the shout-out, Steven, it is much appreciated. Never stop learning!

I knew it was complicated but not this complicated. Bravo for everyone who actually can read and write hieroglyphs
It’s pretty easy
Yes, but how can we be certain that this IS the exact way to read them? Who taught who and passed it down to us?
Thank you very much teachers. This was very important. Big jobs. God bless you!
I've always wanted to learn hieroglyphics I've been interested in the ancient Egyptian culture since I was 14
Ah, ancient lyrics for Mr. Blue Sky. What's Egyptian for "their ain''t a cloud in sight?"

Where's your web site that has this information available?
So when they wanted to write word "lion" (AAR), they needed to draw two vultures and an eye. Talking about ambiguity. 😃
Perfect.
Enjoyed your book narrative on the history of ancient Egypt on audible immensely,it was my first in depth study of these ancient peoples and I learned so much with your insights.
Thak you so much for that, you passed it into a easy way to write.
From Egypt I enjoyed the lesson with you thank you very much ❤
Wow! This guy really explains hieroglyphs. You have to pay for more videos in the series. This video was just a tease. But a goood tease :-) :-)
Yes.. just a tease. See Cymroglyphics at BritainsHiddenHistoryRoss for the real explanation.
I don't know why, but I learned something interesting about this... And I now want to learn hieroglyphics~🤧

No kidding ? Sacré bleu !
Thank you sir for your clear explanation
simple and informative, thank you for this Egyptian alphabet teaching 🤗🤗💜 I loved it and loved learning how to write my own name 😌😝
So cool! Thank you for having this available.
I drew along with him. I love to doodle so this will be a lot of fun to practice.
Ancient Hieroglyphics is a language comprised of symbols to help bring together the different languages of what the people spoke at that time. It was used to eliminate the chaos of confusion and the different understandings and comprehensions. I would say it acted like bridges to help bring everyone together.🖤❤💛🤍💙
Good story
16:01
The first one is lion
The second one is mouse
😂😂🤣🤣
Love Dr Bob Brier!
Thank you Doctor Briar! This is the best Egypt language class I have ever seen! My biggest wish is to meet you one day and shake your hand Doctor! Thanks again for all your great work. Hello from Colorado ♥️💙🇺🇸💙♥️☮
TAVOR VICEROY VALDOR I love him. His passion, lack of snobbery and lack of patronizing. He’s very funny, too.
He said symbols are sometimes stacked "to make it look good". I would think it was more about conserving precious writing space. This was literally written in stone after all.
That may be true, but he also emphasized how important aesthetics were to them. The style of the thing mattered a lot, and it wasn't as interesting to look at just stringing them out. I think they really do look better stacked, you know?
You both may be right .... They may have stacked the letter to make it look good as well as to conserve space.
i dont want to misslead you but i think there is some words that are stacked purely estheticaly, like they mix sequence of letters just becouse it would look good
Although it may look like "well if it`s a long dead language no one really knows what it was and why and how it was used, so my guess is as good as anyone`s", the reality is a bit different.
Scientific work is not just some guessing - be it chemistry, anthropology or linguistics. People study hard first, and then work even harder, checking and rechecking their theories, there`s scientific method behind everything that is done, so normally when you hear someone with a degree uttering just one word - it has a huge amount of work to back it up. While I do not know Dr Brier from Adam, I still feel that it is very unlikely that he, being a scholar, would just say something without being sure.
If that's a concern you have.
The ancient Egyptian had two other scripts they'd use for every day mundane things. This particular script was just the prestige script.
thanks sir i am from India i loved it
Thank you. Highly enlightening.
i am a member of great courses plus bob bryar's course is excellent
Thank you for being a part of our Plus family, we are glad to hear that you're enjoying our courses.
18:41 did he just teach me to draw a rectangle twice?
you need to learn the correct stroke paths. See if you draw a rectangle the modern way in your hieroglyphics someone will come along and dismiss it because of your insane modern styling
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🔲
I love his sincerity
Now do it with a chisel and hammer on some nearby granite block ;)
Fantastic video. Thank you!
Youv've made it so easy and simple. Thanks
*me with an overdue chemistry assignment* now seems like a great time to learn ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics
I learned so much from Bob Brier in the Great Courses. He is brilliant.
So happy I came across this video, I can’t wait to learn and study and practice the alphabet, thank you!
Awww....look at my Set in the background. 😀💓
Thank you that's pretty awesome , very neat and clear
This is owesome....thanku dear sir
What a great interesting video. Thanks for sharing with us.
I feel illuminated after all thank you so much !
Love this video , such a great teacher 😊
Very nice. Good teaching skills & great presentation.
OMG you made it super easy millions of thanks I want to join your classes

I love hieroglyphics. Such a cool alphabet.
BOB BRIER IS THE BEST!
Thanks for a wonderful time.
What a awesome teacher
Its awsom n helpful sir....tq
Thank you so much for this 😊🙏❤Namo Buddhaya ❤🙏☸
That's truly great Sir. I feel I can now decode entire history of Egypt and Pyramid! 😂🤣
Watching for the first time, pausing it at 0:14 . “Scribe in Egypt”. 👍🏻🤗🤓
excellent work
Thank you so much. I have been looking for a video like this for a while. :)
Very good !👍
Thx a lot for uploading 🙏
Egyptonian hieroglyphs are imagesigns, egyptonians' writing is an imagewriting. Don't have to dekode, transform or explain it.
Hungarian language is also imagelanguage thats why the hieroglyphs are readable in hungarian language continouesly.
This was János Borbola's huge discovery.
Good educational video. This gentleman is a great teacher
Thanks for the feedback, Pavel! We will share it with our team!
"A foot" lol made my day
He has such an adorable personality and reminds me of my grandpa, I wish you all the best sir!
I also heard that which ever way the bird is facing that the side you start reading on is this true? Like if the bird is facing to the left you read from left to right and if the bird is facing right you read from right to left
TrueProGamer this is true! he mentions it in one of his lectures
I've yet to watch this course but I know he mentions the fact about the birds in another course, The History of Ancient Egypt, within the first 10 episodes. I *think* the episode about the Rosetta Stone.
true the correct way to translate this is: the sun (r')which shines (wbn) in (m) the sky (p.t).
it's word order is verb-subject-object. So when trying to translate it you need to convert it to our way (s-v-o).
Thanks for sharing 🙂
well done...greetings
Thank you so much
very useful lesson.
Ok so it says: "Shine sun sky or rise sun sky", here's my perception of it, the opener could be "they" instead of "the", also the "shine" could be a verb making it "They rise sun in sky" or "They shine sun in sky". Is this an actual hieroglyph by the way?
I did the ancient Egyptian Alphabet ages ago from this channel.
If the animal or bird is facing left like the first example, then the translation should be read from right to left
Just finished my uni for the year and was looking for something to do, i found an interest in ancient writing and discovered this video, you got me hooked doctor thank you so much!
Jordan did you end up figuring it out
thank you very much it has been very useful , Greetings
At last I can have my name tattooed in heiroglyph 😊😊😊 Thank!
such a great tutorial
Thank you for your impormation about egytian alphabets.
rt. to left reading is also something to consider i will watch ur video an lern more .thanks billie
I was searching for the alphabet finally I got it, this is my pandemic utilising
Don’t think so... try ‘Cymroglyphics’ at BritainsHiddenHistoryRoss. Cymraeg is the correct language.
this was awesome, i am learning now in 2020, anyone who has learnt it already?
yes sweet
Most Amazing Teacher !!!
Once the whole series was available free on TH-cam!!!

You can watch the "Ancient Egyptian Alphabet" course on Wondrium: www.wondrium.com/lp/t2/youtubemain?Video&TH-cam&
Sir, I have a question! Don't mind me by asking but I want to know that...you are writing the alphabets a little different they are in exact from, I mean symbols are not same to same! But if I can draw it same to same! Is there any problem?
He’s writing them in hieratic script I believe, which is the cursive form of written ancient egyptian- the stuff you’d find being used by anybody who is literate, rather than hieroglyphs, which is usually carved into some sort of stone.

Thanks so much!! I needed this stuff for tomorrow in school
It is more correct to say i think that "the ancient Egyptian Medu Neter (Hieroglyphs)" instead of "the ancient Egyptian Alphabet". Thx😊
