Descriptions
Decoding the Secrets of Egyptian Hieroglyphs, Noted Egyptologist Bob Brier’s Decoding the Secrets of Egyptian Hieroglyphs is the key to unlocking an ancient language. In 24 lectures, you’ll cover the basics of reading and writing hieroglyphs, including vocabulary words, number systems, and sentence structure. You’ll also translate hieroglyphs found on ancient sites and artifacts, such as the temples at Abu Simbel and the tomb of Tutankhamen. Before learning how to read and write hieroglyphs, you have to understand why ancient Egypt had to invent some form of writing. Central to this introductory lecture is a study of the Narmer Palette, whose writing would set standards and conventions that would be followed for 3,000 years. It’s time to learn the hieroglyphic alphabet. Professor Brier shows you how to write each hieroglyph and how to position them, including a stylized hand (“D”), a horned viper (“F”), and two hieroglyphs for which English doesn’t have a letter. Then, transcribe your name from English to ancient Egyptian. How is it possible for a language used by the world’s greatest civilization to become lost? The answer, you’ll learn, involves charting the rise and fall of ancient Egypt’s spectacular kingdoms, as well as investigating the ways Christianity replaced hieroglyphs with Greek letters.
