Those are the extremes of the spectrum. I was feeling pretty good following along with Colleen. Then when John explained his part it opened my eyes to how long the road is ahead for me. I knew the ancient Egyptians abbreviated quite a bit. But substitution, this is brand new to me. Thank you both for a fantastic video.
Great video as always. And for those that thought they already knew all this..... John’s walk through of perturbation I am guessing left a few heads sore, and many more with a healthy amount of respect. Excellent and clear teaching. Please keep up the great content.
Thank you, Doctors Darnell. The enthusiasm and grace with which you share this knowledge is indeed inspiring, sparking a thirst in me for more ancient wisdom. I can’t help but think how much more I would have learned, had I the benefit of such teachers in my youth. My best to you and yours. Looking forward to your next.
I'm a graduate student studying Latin and ancient Greek, and the grammar involved in hieroglyphs astounds me! Only my first day stepping into the field here and your videos are of great help! Thank you
When I was in school, there was no reviewing video or audio; you had only your one lecture- - and your notes ! And you never knew when - "There'll be an examination on this material on Wednesday next at 7 AM." Everyone on this channel no doubt has read all about the pioneers in the early beginnings of Egyptology; Champollion was one. He left a quote I'm sure you've all seen already, but for a budding enthusiast, with a special penchant for hieroglyphics, It's always stuck with me - "It is a complex system, a writing that is pictorial [ideograms], symbolic [determinatives] and phonetic [phonograms] at one and the same time, in a single text, a single phrase and even in a single word. Each of these types of character aids in notation of ideas by different means..." I know at least one of you out there here taken an interest in far Eastern languages, Chinese I'll bet - probably Mandarin. The similarities are there to be sure, but, and no offense, but hieroglyphics are so much more fun. Life is just too short to throw my fun away always in favor of the practical.
Every video, every single one, is so informative and fascinating. I'm so happy I found these passionate, intelligent people who teach such complicated information without even a hint of arrogance. I'm thoroughly convinced that the one dislike on this video had to be an accident OR they read some hieroglyphs in the wrong direction and thought the Egyptians were insulting their mother. No way it's a genuine dislike.
I would love that you make a series about reading Hieroglyphs, and just talking about them, i really find it interesting when you explain why is it written like that.
If it is a passion of yours, don't give up. Everyone learns differently and at their own pace.💕 Do not give up if it is your passion, you will learn and it will all come together for you.
I loved your channel and I love that you are teaching us how to read hieroglyphs right now I'm translating my ancient Egyptian toys with not bad inscription I translated the word scarab
With All Due arespect You need an over head camera so the audience can follow along with the gifted enthusiasm of your (collective) fingers while you trace your translation during the lesson Thank tou for making old knowledge accessible
Very interesting! I can’t say I understand all of it, but it’s enjoyable and makes me think. That’s fascinating, how they incorporated magic into the reading. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for another superb presentation! As a student in 1978, our class was able to take a field trip from Oregon to Seattle to view the exhibition, Treasures of Tutankhamun. Being in that space, surrounded by all of the truly exquisite artifacts from the famous tomb of the Egyptian pharaoh was an experience beyond compare. To see the items in person, well, it was an opportunity of a lifetime! I am eagerly looking forward to your next video. All the best to you both.
I had the honor of taking Dr. Doran's class on Ancient Egypt at CSU LA and it is so cool that now you guys have a channel where I can learn even more! It was cool to hear his stories during our lecture and also see the photos during his trip in Egypt. I only wish this channel was out during my Fall '19 semester to help me learn more lol!
My hobby of linguistics has given me the knowledge to follow most of this. I would hazard a guess some of the weak sounds influenced vowels back in the day, but I cannot say for sure. I can only wonder if at some point Egyptian had a vowel/consonant shift that made the weak sounds weak but still useful when written. The way languages change and that fossilises into written systems has always fascinated me. Hieroglyphs show it in spades.
Many thanks! Glad to see your installation. Anything that you decide to tell will be of interest. Be it everyday life, philosophical and religious views and practices of Egyptians of different social coass, episodes of the history of Egyptology and your own research, extracts and your comments on the texts you have chosen. We are waiting for your stories!
Thank you so much for your videos! You two teach so well and these videos both educate me and make me smile. I'm a biology student but I've always been fascinated with ancient Egypt and ancient Greece so these videos are helping me to explore those interests further 😀
Can you please go over the egyptological sections in the Stargate film? They were overseen by the same person that assured the egyptological accuracy in The Mummy
I subscribed because I like the word "Hierogliph". Its such a pretty word. English is not my first language by the way... My first language is baybaying bicolano. Baybayin is the ancient languange of the first Mayan groups within the philippines.
Thank you for yet another truly interesting video! An idea I had for an episode is to talk about the place and/or role of women in Egyptian culture and/or society. I understand that this is a broad subject, but if there is an interesting dynasty regarding this subject for example, you could maybe focus on that. Another idea I had is to talk about how prominent religion was in everyday life. In hieroglyphics it seems to be quite prominent. However, you stated that hieroglyphics were rarely used in everyday life. Looking forward to the next video (even if it does not talk about my proposed topics ;))!
Very interesting! You asked us to post episode ideas, so here is one: I'm sure everyone subscribing would be fascinated to see a video posted here that is filled with still images and videos from research you've conducted in the past in Egypt or even just still and moving images you've shot--well, anywhere. Thanks.
Hey I enjoyed this video. You asked for recommendations so here is one! I watched the Brien Foerster video on the 100 ton boxes in ancientt egypt and it was very interesting unexplained thing. I was wondering if you could read from the walls inside these tombs. Thanks.
Thank you so much for posting these videos. They are absolutely fascinating, and beautiful to watch. I do have a question that perhaps you might be able to answer regarding a certain crown that some deities are seen wearing, the hemhem. Some depictions of the hemhem crown has three atefs in the center, whilst others only have one atef. Is there some symbolic meaning between the two? Also there are some that lack the atef and instead only have the horns, solar disk, and two feathers. Why does all of the things mean? Thank you.
Thank you so much for this inspiration an lesson,for me as leader of AMICI HISTORIAE it is now a very high level to check us good guides for our tour in 2020 to visit Cairo, Gizeh, Theben and Luxor. Greatings
Ohh my gosh, I am feeling so much sorry I have missed to join your How to read Hieroglyphs course now because there is something which is need to be learned. I believed I can start over with Late Egyptian at university but then I discovered Late Egyptian is just the language for literature, love poems, letters and administration in the era of the New Kingdom and Middle Egyptian is the correct and needed language for official inscriptions on monuments and theology. So - I have begun with Late Egyptian and missed I should have started with Middle Egyptian which is more useful for me - because i studied egyptian archaeology moduls before.
I struggle to take it all in but it’s very informative and i love the in-character clothes👍🏻 My driving interest is natural history particularly birds so i like that stuff - a lot of the species depicted are recognisable as still indigenous to Egypt now👍🏻
What a great channel, I just subscribed! Could you discuss more about the pronunciation, I'd love to hear how these texts and words sounded. Particularly more on the names of the gods and goddesses (not the Greek version).
Very interesting! I have a book to translate hieroglyphics in an "easy way" but I'm not sure if that book it's reliable, maybe not 👀. By the way I love the style of both of you! Greetings from Argentina🇦🇷
So enjoying this series. One question- you said the throne biliteral is an ST sound; how does it translate to an IS sound (in both Isis and Osiris)? I guess the pronunciation rules there have me a bit confused.
I just subscribe here on TH-cam but my smartphone don't have any space left for instragram 😢 What i wanted to say is that i love this verry much but sometimes it was hard for me to follow witch hiëroglief you pointed ... like the with the 2 women. I am Dutch and teach myself a bit Inglish so maybe it is easyer to follow with the hiërogliefen marked with a color cirkel or something? Thank you for all the effort you put in making of the video.... i keep follow you here on TH-cam. 😍
Watching videos about ancient Egyp wakes my curiosity up. I’m a Mexican 23 years old guy who’s always had memories about being the youngest pharaoh (tutankhamun) I even have drawings from my childhood of Egyptian landscapes. When I was 3 I told my family the way we lived in Egypt and I described my own death (a spear on my torso while riding a car or something with horses). I feel like lots of memories could come to me if I had a chance to visit the place where I lived many years ago. Congrats for this beautiful channel 🤍
Me (in the middle of writing my Irish Studies MA Thesis on Oscar Wilde): now is a good time to revisit my old hyperfixation and see if I still remember how to read hieroglyphs (Update: I can't. I remembered the orientation and generally how to determine the reading direction but I can't remember the meaning of anything)
Such an awesome topic to discuss. In the future could you find a way to have a close up and point to each object as you're reading? It would be most helpful
any academic who isn't afraid to use the term "enchantment" gets my full support 🙂 the glyphs are highly magical when read, written and spoken. king tut was highly protected by magic spells (darling of the priesthood , since he abolished his fathers "atum" one god idea: 18th dynasty), spell protection is also why the second and third shrines (probably) remained undisturbed (although grave robbers had entered in antiquity). some have stated tut's unbroken seals read: "death will come on swift wings to all who disturb the king's rest" maybe colleen or john will read this and confirm 😉 (i've always wanted to know)!
Love your channel. I have a request. Would it be possible for you to do a segment on what has become known as the Dendra light bulb? I can't read hyroglyphs however to me the picture is not about a light bulb. I noticed hyroglyphs above the scene and wondered what it really says. Its a hot topic but all coming from people making assumptions. I cant seem to find actual Egyptology experts on the subject. Thank you
Sadly, those translations and his dictionary were already outdated when they were first published. We recommend Faulkner's Concise Dictionary of Middle Egyptian
@@VintageEgyptologist thank you very much! Ive always been slightly wary about his translations of some of the major texts, just because he is the only one that's translated a lot of things, I will definitely be looking up that dictionary!!
I've started learning hieratic... but I realise that most of the verbal components of the language are being taught through hieroglyphics so ironically although I didn't want to learn both, I'm finding I do have to. Although I've started to see things as I go along already.
Btw I have a senior project that’s due next month and it is over ancient Egypt. After high school I plan on being an Egyptologist which is gonna take lots of years of schooling and expertise. Can you pls make a video just on the ancient Egyptians religion so I can get a better understanding of how it works because I have the book of going forth by day but it’s very hard to make sense of.
Very interesting. I was wondering if there were exceptions to how hieroglyphs are read. Did Akhenaten change anything for example his 'Hymn to the Aten' or the way in which both his and Nefertiti's names were displayed? Hope all is well during the pandemic and Narmer is getting plenty of cuddles and playtime.
I know the time period may be inaccurate and may not be applicable to Egyptomania, but have you heard of the Greek Paypri? Do you have suggestions for deciphering it?
I’m studying Archeology, no idea how it is in other countries but where I live you first have a bachelor training which takes three years, after which there’s one more year for your master degree. During those years you can choose a branch to specialise in like Egyptology, classic archeology, history of art, etc. So four years is the minimum but you could choose to go for a second bachelor, a second master, or even a doctorate degree

Those are the extremes of the spectrum. I was feeling pretty good following along with Colleen. Then when John explained his part it opened my eyes to how long the road is ahead for me. I knew the ancient Egyptians abbreviated quite a bit. But substitution, this is brand new to me. Thank you both for a fantastic video.
I absolutely love the way you two look at each while the other is speaking! So much respect and love between you.
planning to start a BA Egyptology course next year! these are great help and awesome knowledge!!
good luck! I hope things are going well
Consistently brilliant. My joy in Egyptian design is enhanced by learning more of what it means. Thank you.
Great video as always. And for those that thought they already knew all this..... John’s walk through of perturbation I am guessing left a few heads sore, and many more with a healthy amount of respect. Excellent and clear teaching. Please keep up the great content.
Kudos to you, Colleen. You always describe things with such verve that the information sticks. Must be the love you have for your subject.
I want her to be my Ancient History teacher ♥ ♥ ♥

Thank tou for making old knowledge accessible
Amazing love all your videos, please do an online Egyptan Hieroglyph course level 1, I would totally sign up for that!
I started taking interest in ancient Egyptian stories and culture since reading a book about it in highschool. I'm so glad I saw this channel!

Time to take out my notebook and pen then.
First of all thanks a lot really for these fantastic lectures. I suggest to explain us in details how to read Hieroglyphs.
I have been waiting for this video ♥️
I missed your work so much, thank u
More to come!
I saw the book to purchase to help in assisting to interpret Ancieny Egyptian Hieroglyphics, Thank You. DeDe
Yay!!! I'm so happy this video is up! Tysm!
What are some of the funniest stories, written in hieroglyphics? Or...what are some of the most hostile?
I had the honor of taking Dr. Doran's class on Ancient Egypt at CSU LA and it is so cool that now you guys have a channel where I can learn even more!

I like your fashion. Looks nice. And thank you for letting me know more about hieroglophy and Hieratic language
That was extremely interesting 😯
Amazing, thank you for this video and your others.
I love your reaction to that Egyptian themed movie and so here I am to learn more..
I am going to study Egyptology next year. And after watching this I know I am in for a ride 😂 but one I am willing to fight hard for!
My hobby of linguistics has given me the knowledge to follow most of this. I would hazard a guess some of the weak sounds influenced vowels back in the day, but I cannot say for sure.

Very very complex and fascinating

I love the video, thanks for the lessons 😍
Great content, I saw you in a NatGeo episode. When I looked for info on hieroglyphs and saw you I knew where I had to be!

Love your channel more videos, please.
Hieroglyphs are very hagiographic (literally), a very elaborate and beautiful form of worship.
suuuuuuuper interesting but a little hard to follow for my poor brain XD I was zoning out quite a bit :p I'd love to see more though!

PLSSSSSS MAKE MORE VIDEOS
Such an awesome topic to discuss. In the future could you find a way to have a close up and point to each object as you're reading? It would be most helpful
Truly fascinating!
Great job! Loved it :)
any academic who isn't afraid to use the term "enchantment" gets my full support 🙂
the glyphs are highly magical when read, written and spoken. king tut was highly protected by magic spells (darling of the priesthood , since he abolished his fathers "atum" one god idea: 18th dynasty), spell protection is also why the second and third shrines (probably) remained undisturbed (although grave robbers had entered in antiquity). some have stated tut's unbroken seals read:
"death will come on swift wings to all who disturb the king's rest"
maybe colleen or john will read this and confirm 😉 (i've always wanted to know)!
Love your channel. I have a request. Would it be possible for you to do a segment on what has become known as the Dendra light bulb? I can't read hyroglyphs however to me the picture is not about a light bulb. I noticed hyroglyphs above the scene and wondered what it really says. Its a hot topic but all coming from people making assumptions. I cant seem to find actual Egyptology experts on the subject. Thank you
Love this
Super Awesome!
Mac a part 3 plis
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
What do you think of ea budges translations? Are they accurate still or are they out of date? And what do you think of his hieroglyphic dictionary?
Sadly, those translations and his dictionary were already outdated when they were first published. We recommend Faulkner's Concise Dictionary of Middle Egyptian
@@VintageEgyptologist thank you very much! Ive always been slightly wary about his translations of some of the major texts, just because he is the only one that's translated a lot of things, I will definitely be looking up that dictionary!!
I purchased an egyptian tarot deck and I would like to learn to read hieroglyphs to better understand the interpretation.
I've started learning hieratic... but I realise that most of the verbal components of the language are being taught through hieroglyphics so ironically although I didn't want to learn both, I'm finding I do have to. Although I've started to see things as I go along already.
Btw I have a senior project that’s due next month and it is over ancient Egypt. After high school I plan on being an Egyptologist which is gonna take lots of years of schooling and expertise. Can you pls make a video just on the ancient Egyptians religion so I can get a better understanding of how it works because I have the book of going forth by day but it’s very hard to make sense of.
Very interesting. I was wondering if there were exceptions to how hieroglyphs are read. Did Akhenaten change anything for example his 'Hymn to the Aten' or the way in which both his and Nefertiti's names were displayed?
Hope all is well during the pandemic and Narmer is getting plenty of cuddles and playtime.
I know the time period may be inaccurate and may not be applicable to Egyptomania, but have you heard of the Greek Paypri? Do you have suggestions for deciphering it?
I want to become an egyptologist too and you're a big inspiration , I just wanted to know how long does it take to complete all academic studies
I’m studying Archeology, no idea how it is in other countries but where I live you first have a bachelor training which takes three years, after which there’s one more year for your master degree. During those years you can choose a branch to specialise in like Egyptology, classic archeology, history of art, etc. So four years is the minimum but you could choose to go for a second bachelor, a second master, or even a doctorate degree
@@elenagyselinck2931 thanks😁
What is the name of the book she has at 2mins ? Is that available somewhere?
