Hello, I hope this kind of post is allowed here.

I want to say this to someone, but I don't know how to pronounce it. Could someone transliterate this for me, please?

The spring semester just ended, and I am looking for ways to maintain my reading skills (Middle Egyptian) over the summer so I don’t struggle when I take the advanced course in the fall. Unlike the winter break, I don’t have a research opportunity that necessitates working in Egyptian. Beyond textbook review, how do you all do vocab, grammar, and translation practice? Thanks in advance

I'm someone who's typically well read and interested in ancient civilizations and especially how they interacted throughout time. I'm also into the science behind linguistics and it's history as well as the evolution of symbology. I'm doing a project- if you can call it that- and have stumbled down a weird rabbit hole trying to look for astrological glyphs or symbols for things such as star or sun or moon. (Don't ask why, it's barely Egypt related) and I came across some interesting things. They weren't quite glyphs, but they were symbols for different gods that seemed to have the same bottom of a cross, like an ankh, but alot of extra stuff ontop. My guess is that it's got something to do with the roman/Macedonian occupation of Egypt, because it reminds me of the traditional latin/roman symbol system for the gods which is also astrological since they named planets after roman gods. Idk, and I can't find any sources, just stock images. Can anyone give me some kind of help or advice on this? I covered the pictures that had the least relevancy with it.

Hi everyone, I have recently resumed my studies of Middle Egyptian and at the end of my third lesson was given this problem to transliterate/translate. The problem is that the site refuses to show me the answer…so I have came here to ask if I did this exercise correctly.

Here is the problem: 𓏌𓎡𓀀𓎟𓋀𓏏𓈉. Now, from my knowledge, the section ’𓏌𓎡𓀀’ is a singular, independent pronoun and transliterates as ink. The last portion (𓋀𓏏𓈉) transliterates to imnt. Then we have nb, or the ’𓎟’ in the middle of the phrase. So, we get ink nb imnt. But this is where I get confused. When translated, I got ”I am own God”, which makes no sense. I put a ”my” in-between ’am’ and ’own’ to make it more sensible, but still I am confused. Am I wrong? Or is this just a weird example?

Greetings!

I am a senior year history student. My studies focus on the History of Religions starting from the beginning of religious texts in Akkadia to 393AD. I can read Akkadian now and ready to learn Egyptian.

But I am not sure which Egyptian language would be the most beneficial for me in terms of following the religious development in Egypt. Since my field is to understand the development of Abrahamic religions throughout the history, I am quite confused now about the old and middle Egyptian.

Can someone help me on this please? Sincerely!

Hi can someone translate the writing on this Shabti? (Shabtis of Henuttaneb)

Hi can someone translate the writing on this Shabti? (Shabtis of Henuttaneb)

In ancient Egyptian I’m trying to say my love. AI says it’s “Meri en-ek” or “Merit-en-ek” but I don’t really trust it. Does anybody know?

So, I've been learning Ancient Egyptian using a variety of sources. However, I recently came across a website called bibalex and there is a section on this website where it explains that the word nswt has a redundant sound sign (t) and it is actually pronounced nsw. Here is the link to that page. It's at the very bottom of the page. Different ways to write the same words (bibalex.org) Is this accurate?

My mom found this cartouche when she was cleaning out my uncle's house. He has dementia and can't remember. I tried pulling up the alphabet, but am at a loss. Can anyone help translate it?

Greetings, Ancient Egyptian linguists! New Testament scholar popping in for a visit here. I'm thinking about trying to add a basic foundation in Coptic to my toolkit over this summer. The proximate goal is to do some work on the Coptic Gospel of Thomas. For these purposes, is a grammar focused on Sahidic Coptic the best thing to work through? If so, preferences between Lambdin and Layton, or is there something better? If not, what would you suggest I work through?

[Just for background: I have substantial experience learning, reading, and teaching various other ancient languages, so don't be afraid of recommending something technical.]

Is this how you would properly say "Infinite is the strength of Inepu"

What's the history of the word henna in ancient Egyptian from it's earliest mention till Coptic ?

"In Life's name, and for Life's sake..."

Yes, I'm asking for this for a tattoo. I have some rudimentary knowledge of hieroglyphs, but I'm very clunky still, and I know Egyptian tended to the poetic.

Further info: This is the opening line to a Wizards' Oath from a book series by Diane Duane. The whole oath really embodies the spirit of ma'at, and I'd love to wear it on my skin.

Can someone please grammar check this phrase?

"Iw neteb netjeru re wat shemi kher" "Jw ntb nTrw r wAt Sm.i Hr" "The gods scorch the path I walk upon"

Hi, I'm not really sure how to word my question, but I just would like to know how to translate the phrase "love conquers all" to hieroglyphs

Hello! I was wondering if anyone knew how to translate english into hieroglyphics. Would it be fair to break down a word into its sounds and then use hieroglyphics that represent that sound to make-up a word?

Please let me know if this is right.
