Up until now, we have been examining the lessons of Egyptologica Vlaanderen VZW, but now, we are going to take a look at the lessons that have been posted to the web by the "Ancient Egyptian Language" Discussion List Group.

This will give you a different approach [though not very different] to learning Hieroglyphs.  And it will also serve as a refresher for the "One Letter Signs" that you learned in Lesson One of Egyptologica Vlaanderen VZW.

So, at this time, I would like for you to go to "Beginning at the beginning: Monoliterals" of the Egyptian Hieroglyphs Page of the "Ancient Egyptian Language" Discussion List Group.

Monoliterals AEL - Introduction to Ancient Egyptian

Now, if you feel like you are moving along reasonably well, I would like for you to read an article on Egyptian Grammar by Jacques Kinnaer an Egyptologist who hosts "The Ancient Egypt Site".  This article is found at: The Language of Ancient Egypt: Hieroglyphic Lessons

And his Section on Mdw Ntr begins here: The Language of Ancient Egypt

If this last article overwhelmed you a bit, you can take a step back, and visit the site of "Great Scott Publishing"  which claims "Great Scott Publishing creates web-based and printable educational tools for people like you."

This site breaks things down to a very basic level, and may give you a little confidence regarding your mastery of the subject.  The Great Scott site is not very comprehensive, but it give a nice brief "snapshot" of Mdw-Ntr.  Great Scott Publishing

Quiz #2

Okay, so what does this little piece of papyrus say?  Get it right, and you get to tour a tomb in the Ancient area of Saquarra.  Get it wrong, and you get thrown back into "First Steps."

1. I've lost my owl?
2. Traveling to Kmt?
3. Language of Kmt?

If you are interested, here are some additional notes on Saqqura.

Saquara was built during the early dynasties of Kmt, and  because of this, the Pharoahs at that time were Nubians - people from futher south in Africa in an area ranging approximately from Aswan to Kartoum.

Three is plenty of disagreement over the facts of the relationship between Nubia and Kmt, and sometimes those disagreements become heated.  As a scholarly student of Kmt and the Ancient Nile Valley Civilizations, you should gather and weigh as much information and data as possible, keeping in mind the possible existance of bias.

Below, you will find some links to some sites about Nubia (or "Ta Seti" as it was called in Kme).

Well, it is time to call it a day (or night) I hope Page 3 has been enjoyable for you.  In the next lesson, one of the things we will do will be to write our names in Hieroglyphs.
