I'm going to show you how to read hieroglyphs. And you can start speaking a new language in 3 weeks with Babbel ๐. Get up to 55% OFF your subscription โก๏ธ Here: bit.ly/RobWordsAug
Hieroglyphs appear beautiful but baffling. However, these ancient Egyptian signs are not as complicated as they seem. Once you realise that they can simply spell out words just like our alphabet does, hieroglyphs become much easier to understand. Let me show you how.
Many thanks to Ilona Regulski of the Egyptian Museum at Berlin's marvellous Neues Museum.
PLAY WITH THESE:
๐ฟ = a ๐ = i ๐ = a ๐ ฑ = u ๐ = b ๐ช = p
๐ = f ๐ = n ๐ = h ๐ = h ๐ = kh ๐ก = kh
๐ = j ๐ฟ = tj ๐ = r ๐ = m ๐ = t ๐ = s
๐ด = sh ๐ = q ๐ก = k ๐ผ = g
CORRECTION: At the end I get my quail chicks and my sparrows mixed up. The sparrow meant "small", not the quail chick. Sorry.
