8:39 Edit: The following explanation is highly flawed - one of the replies to this has a far more accurate explanation of the process by which Hieroglyphics were translated and understood. Give them props for their correction. Original text: For anyone actually curious: the way that we know how Hieroglyphics were pronounced is because we already knew how the Egyptian Demotic script was pronounced. The Rosetta Stone had the same text in Mycenaean greek (Linear B), Egyptian Demotic, and Egyptian Hieroglyphics. Egyptian Demotic and Egyptian Hieroglyphics are different characters but they represent the same words and pronunciations (if you know about Japanese Kana vs Kanji, it's quite like that). Egyptian Demotic, unlike Hieroglyphics, is a phonetic script, which is to say it uses characters to represent sounds, not ideas or things (as Hieroglyphs do). Once we began to understand what Hieroglyphs meant we already knew to pronounce them like they were in the Demotic script which very literally spells out the pronunciations.
oh thank you I was about to research myself but found your comment thanks kind internet stranger ^^ like @joschwalb931's comment so wirtual can see it aswell, I bet he would be interested in this information aswell
They found this out because there were known names and places on the Rosetta stone, but in Demotic and Greek they were written with strange spelling. So the major breakthrough was the realization that they're translated phonetically from the hieroglyphics.
As someone interested in ancient languages: there's always been people complaining about and comparing accents, some of those writings are preserved, and Poetry and the nature of rhymes in poetry has long been used to help understand how they're pronounced.

you also have puns and transcriptions. If you have a name from a language that is known, you can see how they transcribed it. And wordplay, puns in particular, heavily rely on two words being pronounced similarly, if you know part of one of them, then you can maybe learn more about the other
for the guy who asked about why the sphynx is a symbol for riddles, that actually comes from greek mythology! there's a myth about a guy meeting a sphynx (as in the mythological animal the egyptian sphynx is based on) on his way while he's walking, and it says to the man that he needs to answer a riddle to continue his journey, otherwise he'll die. look it up, it's interesting. (also it's fascinating because this story proves how close greek and egyptian civilisations actually were)
By the way the story of the person that beat the sphinx which was terrorizing Athens not letting anyone leave the person that beat the sphinx was oedipus because he heard that if you beat the sphinx then you can marry the queen because her husband was recently killed (by oedipus) in a chariot fight on the road so oedipus beat the sphinx in a game of three riddles over three days and when Oedipus won the sphinx killed itself and Oedipus married the queen which the queen was his birth mom and he learned that he killed his birth father in the chariot fight but he didn’t know that they were his parents because he was sent away to another kingdom when he was a baby
fyi, on Ancient Egyptian sounds- we don't know what all sounds in Ancient Egyptian were, but we actually do know a lot of them, and one of the ways we know them is by studying Coptic, which is a direct descendent of Ancient Egyptian used as a liturgical language by Coptic Christians in Egypt (and i believe also Sudan). there's a good video by the channel NativLang, "What Ancient Egyptian Sounded Like - and how we know"
Linguists can reconstruct Ancient Egyptian phonotactically through the use of an extinct descendant, Coptic, which is immortalized as the liturgical language of the Coptic church. The Demotic script, one the three on the Rosetta Stone, is recorded in history by Demotic speakers' Greek-speaking contemporaries, such as Clement of Alexandria.

6:05 When carving statues of the pharaohs, sculptors usually would not match the actual man's measurements, but give the statue proportions based on the 'official pharaoh measurements' that had been passed down by previous generations of stonecarvers - I assume something similar went on with the cubit.
For anyone wondering, the sphinx became a symbol for riddles because of the Greek sphinx, see Sophocles' ”Oedipus Rex” we're the sphinx eats traveler who don't answer her riddles correctly.

25:47 in acient rome, a mythical creature, named " the sphinx" told riddles to strangers wanting to go through the city or the country or whatever, and if you didn't have the answer it ate you, one of his most known riddle is : "what has 4 legs in the morning, 2 at noon and 3 at night ?" to what Oedipe answered "the human", he then maried his own mother and had kids but thats another story
25:27 The slant height divided by half the base is the golden ratio. (Slant height is distance from midpoint of base edge to peak) The golden ratio is 1.618033988 (yes, I memorised the first 10 digits) and is said to be the PERFECT ratio. Credit cards also have a base / height ratio of about 1.6.
There is a cool documentary called "Epos Dei". It's a little over the top sometimes but gives great insight on mathematic principles incorporated into the design of the Cheops Pyramid.
There were names included on the Rosetta Stone. Names are generally pronounced similarly in different languages, and so they can extrapolate how certain glyphs were pronounced.
The riddle of the sphinx (paraphrased from my memory) What walks on 4 legs when it is young, 2 legs when it has grown up and on 3 legs when it becomes old? iirc there was something about being rewarded when you solved this and punished when not, but I'm not sure how much of that was actual egyptian lore and what was added on later.
Oh my god here he goes, Wirtual preaching the stadium car gospel again (I've only played with the stadium car outside of like 2 maps and prefer it that way tbf)
9:20 it is too funny that the shortcut world record on the pyramid map is the first time I've ever seen someone from the UK with a trackmania world record.
With phonemes of ancient languages, it's taken from current languages. For example, Latin has many languages that derived from it, so we can tell how it was pronounced. How it was written though is completely up in the air. We are not sure if they used the same spelling or something completely different than what we use today

Wirtual understands what it means to dress for the job you want, not the job you have
He wants to be interred under millions of tons of limestone, with his organs excised and his brain scraped out?
26:30 Of course! This caught me so off guard I had to rewind because what I read didn‘t match what I heard
In the first moment I thought he'd just mixed up his screenshots, then I got it. I rewound to see if there was a timestamped comment, and here we are
As someone interested in ancient languages: there's always been people complaining about and comparing accents, some of those writings are preserved, and Poetry and the nature of rhymes in poetry has long been used to help understand how they're pronounced.
We don’t really have such extensive records of Ancient Egyptian, most of it is comparative linguistics with Proto-Afro-Asiatic.
