Ok, so I'm doing some research and I would love if someone could recommend me some source materials that give me a proper and easily understandable dictionary + pronunciation guide for ancient egyptian words and their modern counterpart meanings.
I'm struggling to translate this sentence :
Cours d'égyptien hiéroglyphique, Grandet-Matthieu, Chapter 21, Exercise 1
I don't understand the last part -- m jwf (litt. in meat ?). Is it saying something like "and as for meat, he is eating beef shoulder" ? If it's the case, I don't understand this construction. If it's something else, what is it ?
Thanks !
I’m currently trying to learn and I do so best when I’m able to take notes, but trying to fully draw out the full hieroglyph has not only been kind of tedious, but also produces inaccurate results (I’m not great at drawing). I understand that there are cursive forms, as well as hieratic and demotic, but I also understand that these amount to almost entirely different scripts (or at least, the symbols are different enough that they need to be learned separately). Is there a commonly used way to write down hieroglyphs quickly and accurately?
Im exactly 73% done with this monster of a blanket. Getting real tired. Every time I want to put it down I just force myself to keep going this is about 3 weeks of work, really trying to finish this before that 1 month point 🙃
Egyptian inspired building. Images clearly refer to the animals kept inside and zoo history, or at least zoo vibes. But the hieroglyphs themselves, do they actually correspond to correct sentences, or just gibberish? I noticed in one photo they had the bee and reed with two half moon symbols, being the two lands of sedge and bee. But besides that, copies of some texts or just arbitrary artistic jumgle of glyphs?
Thanks
