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 ;)
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.
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!
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 🌼
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)
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!
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.🖤❤💛🤍💙
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&
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?
So, where did the information of what sounds the hieroglyphs represent come from when the civilization and language were dead for over a thousand years?
Jo, As is addressed in the course, it all starts with the Rosetta Stone. When the Rosetta Stone was discovered, everyone thought the code would be cracked quickly, but it wasn’t. It took more than 20 years before someone would finally be able to read the ancient Egyptian inscription. Everyone had been making the Big Mistake, assuming that the language was primarily ideographic. Even as Thomas Young and the French historian Jean-François Champollion were figuring out the alphabet, they both made that mistake. Today we will see how Champollion made the big breakthrough and became the first man in 2,000 years to read hieroglyphs. He realized the language was very similar to Coptic and built phonetically from there. What we’re pronouncing is based on the Coptic language, so it's not exactly what ancient Egyptian would have sounded like, but we can hypothesize it is close.
@@TheGreatCourses I am aware of the sounds of the Coptic language being utilized that's sort of the direction I was going in. Said this (about Coptic) in a comment a few weeks ago with ppl debating over the hieroglyphs and got pounced on in the comments by naysayers. Those who know know.
2 main factors: 1. Egyptian names written in other languages that had vowels like the peace treaty between Rameses II. and the Hittites. The Hittites wrote in Cuneiform which includes vowels. Part of the diplomatic letters and contracts were found in Hittite sites. (Like the Great courses plus said earlier, it works the other way as well. On the Rosetta stone a Greek name, Ptolemaios, was spelled in Egyptian) 2. The latest and still surviving descendend of the ancient Egyptian language is spoken by the Egytian Christian Minority, The Copts. The Copts use the greek alphabet, which also includes vowels. Jean Francois Champollion studied the Coptic language because he had a hunch that it would help him decipher the Rosetta Stone. He was right about that. CHampollion worked under the assumption that the the circled hieroglyphs on the stone must be something special, and figured them to be the Pharaoh's name. So he tried mapping the greek letters in the Pharaoh's name to hieroglyphs which were encircled. Based on that he tried to identify more words that included the same letters. I believe one of the words, he was able to identify using the Coptic language was the word for sun. Rah in Coptic, if I recall correctly. Of course it is more complicated than that, but that's it in a nutshell as far as I remember my University days. :)
I really know what it means because I can speak the language it's somali language or cutitic language so every picture has a name and they use the first letter to make a sentence go and study the soamli language and the culture so you can be convinced
L means libaax in somali pharonic G means gudin in somaali and pharonic J means jalxad in somali and pharaonic B means biito which is leg pharoo means faraxo which is a tree name punt means buun
I am studying this course right now! It was a Christmas gift. My birds came out looking pretty strange at first, but, have gotten much better with practice!
Been wondering about this for years! Simple and to the point--Thanks! edit edit... Okay, it's maybe ten minutes later, and I've just watched somebody else's TH-cam video. Thanks to this, I was able to figure out that they were spelling "Ptolemy" (Actually, Ptolemios or something, but I got really close!) The only one your video didn't cover, which I'm assuming was added by the Greeks, as you explained about the L, was the O which looks like a lasso.
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.
Pops name Andre his cartouche matched the ANDREA glphs perfect. To Read the alphabet you have to master metaphor A=Attraction/ awareness/ Atom/...for four fore p.h.o.r....to two too.... Ba=sol/subconscious/solar plexus/sole under foot...we still learning based on physics.
Before I start to try and memorise this stuff, is this interpretation of the way the language works 100 percent a sure thing? I had thought that it was the kind of language we'd have no way of being certain about, but the teacher seems so sure about what he's saying...
There is a egyptian sutra that detaills the Eternal life for scribes in the hereafter... how many of them were there y/n, and is it true somehow see also tibetan book of the dead.....
On the day the tabernacle, the tent of the covenant law, was set up, the cloud covered it. From evening till morning the cloud above the tabernacle looked like fire.
By using the Rosetta stone, which gave the same decree in three languages, hieroglyphic, Demotic and Ancient Greek, archaeologists were able to make incredible leaps in translating the previously untranslatable hieroglyphics. The modern day equivalent would be putting on a few episodes of Battlestar Galactica in your native language and subtitles in a second, or vice versa... letting you pair up the words you know with their equivalents.
Wow Dr Bob is getting old but he is still an awesome egyptologist and I like the way he puts things. She doesn't put things in terms that are hard to understand for beginners
This is my 1st try at decoding hieroglyphs. The second grouping of this phrase. The eye the sun the arm. What the sun holds. or What is the sun? These are simple pictographs that may have multiple or complex meanings. The first part a young quail the foot a wave length and the sun. (Im not sure how the young quail influences this statement) the foot is traveling, the wave is that or rays and the sun. The traveling ray's of the sun. So far it seems to me they are explaining what sunshine is and not the simple statement the sun is shining in the sky. The half circle over your "sky" represents an equal division of it like day as opposed to night. I'm just saying your alphabet seems kinda weak. These people were smarter than you give them credit for.
This was my 1st 'lesson' and I, like yourself immediately began to feel something's 'wrong' with what I'm being told. Admittedly this is instinctive to me and proves nothing, but collectively instinct becomes intuition and this is where we are now. For no other reason than to keep this brief I'll skip right to my wanting to reply to your post. When decoding this time I need you to make the assumption they're describing how the sun stopped shining completely, it went away. Does this help any?
sir you need to include berber in it and he'll tell you how exactly to pronounce it and put the right vowels in their places wuban irah im p(f)at, translate " the light rises" which means it is sunny. in berber we say ivan for w b n , you can say iw ban or contract it to wban. ban or van, in berber means rise, appear, clear
Egyptian hieroglyphs could have been written any way: right to left, left to right, down to up, or up to down. The key is to note how the characters are facing to see which way the scribe intended it to be read.
@@rahulb3417 Based on his conversion to english.. I tried converting it into tamil. Udhaya suriyan in tamil is rising sun. Instead of udhaya suriyan.. i got udhan rin.. i am unable to get SU letter in suriyan and also instead of udhaya, i got udhan. Need to look into this further. Close match is there.
As all Alpha Bets are read right to left up to Phonecian and Hebrew, the change seemed to be left to right after this point in space. Therefore Kemetic Demotic right to left reading, shouldn't this read. "Sky in Sun Shine". 'shine sun in sky' read right t left.
i think its about birth , the sun on two sides or two suns and an afterlife the cells under go a transformation and eventually a new house and horizon built
هي ليست ألفا بيت الهيروغليفيه ألف به ولا يستطيع أحد أن يقول ألفا قبل أن يقول الف فى العالم لأن الأصل ألف مثل كلمة الله فالاف هو الدرجه الاولى والألفا هى الدرجة الثانية ,ملحوظه آلف مثل كلمة العقاب وبه مثل كلمة بيت وأول بيت هو الهرم ،
You will find that the shapes of the birds and types of birds found in hieroglyphs are messengers birds that carried messages to my other Kingdoms ie Egypt to India etc. 🤴🏽🕉🔺➕

So happy I came across this video, I can’t wait to learn and study and practice the alphabet, thank you!

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).
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?

It's not at 100% sorry.

Who and How did you came up with the meaning of this drawing as alphabet?
This is my 1st try at decoding hieroglyphs. The second grouping of this phrase. The eye the sun the arm. What the sun holds. or What is the sun? These are simple pictographs that may have multiple or complex meanings. The first part a young quail the foot a wave length and the sun. (Im not sure how the young quail influences this statement) the foot is traveling, the wave is that or rays and the sun. The traveling ray's of the sun. So far it seems to me they are explaining what sunshine is and not the simple statement the sun is shining in the sky. The half circle over your "sky" represents an equal division of it like day as opposed to night. I'm just saying your alphabet seems kinda weak. These people were smarter than you give them credit for.

I need to know how they check whether it's all correct and how thet figured out what was that ancient pronunciation 🤔
Very good ☺️ and academic
Very good.
Dr. Brier is supremely talented.
Thanks for the feedback, Sophia! It is much appreciated!
sir you need to include berber in it and he'll tell you how exactly to pronounce it and put the right vowels in their places wuban irah im p(f)at, translate " the light rises" which means it is sunny. in berber we say ivan for w b n , you can say iw ban or contract it to wban. ban or van, in berber means rise, appear, clear
This is interesting but the written language does not explicitly provide a vowel in wbn.
at 3:01 ... I'm ignorant when it comes to hieroglyphics, but from my understanding ...aren't you suppose to read the Egyptians from right to left?
How did they correct typos? (I'm sure sometimes mistakes happened)
Did they write from right to left or left to right?
Egyptian hieroglyphs could have been written any way: right to left, left to right, down to up, or up to down. The key is to note how the characters are facing to see which way the scribe intended it to be read.
