Cracking Ancient Codes: Egyptian Hieroglyphs - with Andrew Robinson

[@ravithyag]

One of the best talks ever, probably the best talk on deciphering of Egyptian Hieroglyph

[@neileyre6019]

What a wonderful lecture in every way; everything you’d expect from the RI. Thank you for this and all the Christmas lectures I watched on telly when I was growing up.

The most fascinating account about archaeology I’ve watched on YT.

[@stephm4047]

It would be fair to say that Young began by using an Egyptian demotic alphabet of 29 letters built up by Johan David Åkerblad in 1802. Many people worked on this at that time in Europe. And only Champollion was able to find the right solution thanks to his knowledge of the coptic language used by Christians in Egypt. The fact that it hurts british pride, since the Rosetta stone was taken to the French to be sent in England, will not change History. Especially since all these discoveries came from the strong interest of Napoleon in science. Ancient Egypt had been ignored by everybody else before for 2000 years, especially by muslim rulers who hated the idea that Egypt had other gods much before.

Really well done. I've studied a lot about the subject and knew the basic story well.

[@paulwellings-longmore1012]

Excellent lecture. Just right balance of detailed information, biography and enthusiasm for a fascinating subject.

[@istvancsiszar1118]

What do you think about the reconstruction of the pronunciation ? Mainstream egyptology considers it to be either impossible or not worth the trouble. But some egyptologists or linguists say , that it is possible to get a fairly plausible reconstructed pronunciation in the light of new linguistic researches. ( My primary interest is the reconstruction of the spoken language and I am very frustrated by mainstream egyptology literature that gives a consonant-only transliteration , ignoring the work of those who try to reconstruct a plausible vocalised pronunciation . )

[@petermsiegel573]

Have you looked at Antonio Loprieno's work-- he deals with vowels and other hard-to-reconstruct features. He's a well-known and well-respected scholar. You can even find at least one of his major books online as a (free) PDF. He's about as mainstream as you can get in precisely the area you're interested in. (I.e. the opinion of someone who studies artefacts may not carry as much weight on linguistic reconstructions). To your point, some words have enough evidence for a rather confident reconstruction (say for Middle Egyptian, at least in SOME major dialects used by scribes) and some don't. Stressed vowels can often be reconstructed with confidence much more so than unstressed ones (where we may know lots, but often not a single likely vowel choice). Evidence comes from several sources: 1) internal reconstruction (look at spelling changes over time, scribal errors, spelling of foreign words in Egyptian, etc.), including 1a) back-analysis from Coptic; 2) docs in other languages (e.g. Hittite or Akkadian treaties where you can see how Egyptian words are transcribed); 3) relationships to other Afroasiatic languages (e.g. Hebrew, Arabic, Ethiopic languages, etc.). Anybody else?

[@istvancsiszar1118]

I will look after Antonio Loprieno. I only know of some vocalised word reconstructions of James P. Allen and I am looking forward to his book Egyptian Phonology which is to be published in October and November. At a very basic level I am learning several Afroasiatic languages. And I want to mention my favourite virtual master , Dr. Stuart Tyson Smith , who has made speech reconstructions for several movies ( e.g. Stargate 1994 and Stargate Origins ) with quite plausible pronunciations. Though I fear , mainstream scholars might disdain such films , without actually listening to the speech reconstructions in them.

[@petermsiegel573]

​@@istvancsiszar1118 Loprieno's book, Ancient Egyptian: A Linguistic Reconstruction, is quite good, as are James Allen's several books (thanks for the tip on the new one). I took another look at AE:ALR and for later Egyptian (post-Classical), Loprieno has quite a bit of confidence in reconstructions even for unstressed vowels; but often folks are more interested in Middle (Classical) Egyptian, which has a very different vowel inventory. Also, Loprieno gives the principles and many examples, but his goal isn't to list every word or source (so reading Akkadian is handy- LOL). I think there's a book in there for someone else who can fill in the gaps! (Professor) Tyson Smith does a fantastic job; only a short-sighted scholar would disdain such expert popularization. Of course he has to compromise because he can't leave gaps in the movie dialogue, but he has almost single-handedly brought accurate, spoken Egyptian to the general public. Similarly, who would criticize Steven Hawking for having made obscure, but amazing, aspects of physics accessible to a math-phobic public?

Superb presentation Andrew. If you are reading this, what would be the most sacred or beautiful Hieroglyphs? For example, in English "as above so below" is considered wise and has a deep meaning, etc.

[@camerontaylor7471]

examplerkey the most sacred and most beautiful of hieroglyphs are is the mummification ritual of the pharaohs and the symbology of the entire pyramid and tomb construction for the after life ... when observed with the eyes of the gods the deeper meaning and powerful magic is revealed but difficult to put into words... it’s almost as if the pharaohs knew they were going to be world famous one day and celebrated by the gods(FYI the gods in heaven is not just the pantheon of deities but actually US, like you, me, and the rest of humanity who have witnessed the mystery of Egypt, when the dead have there name and image summoned by the living they are multi dimensionally being resurrected from the dead)... but anyways back to the tomb building and after life ritual... basically every part of the after life fantasy imagined in the book of the dead and the spells for the after life are a metaphor for the laws of life/existence... without a body you have no life, without any food, water, shelter, clothes, you can’t live... they had imprinted the images and ideas onto stone/rock using nature as the inspiration... it’s the teaching of the gods to the priest to the pharaohs whom are leaving a message of higher consciousness and true wisdom for the future generations(our current selves) of humanity to take from... it’s like the priest were saying there is no difference between a dead man and a living man... and almost like the creation of the first artificial body for consciousness to transfer into to... the first robot!

Correct me if I am wrong and this is possibly a very native remark : the hieroglyph writings sometimes represent phoenetic symbols and are sometimes symbolic. I find the mix of both not surprising in the evolutionary progress of languages. We currently are evolving our languages in the same direction; think EMOJIS for instance. We do this all the time on WhatsApp for example; substituting a symbol like the 🚗 symbol for the letters CAR

But Champoleon never got it all right; whereas several groups from Cardiff have been able to produce a much better dictionery for the heiroglyphic codes, both the alphabetical values and the additional meanings in the cartouches and 'ordinary' writing using the old Cymric language, which is much closer to ancient egyptian than is coptic. Look up Cymroglyphics, and you will be amazed. Many heiroglyphic inscriptions are being much better translated with this system based on old Welsh!

The lecture wasn't only about the hieroglyphs, but about the men who cracked the code, focusing especially on Champollion. To me, at least, this was a very valuable and interesting part of the story. It's a shame you found the first part to be such a waste of time, but as Champollion might have said, "À chacun son goût" (which might explain why it was the Americans and not the French who invented the McDonald's hamburger; although in fairness, the French might have invented pommes frites (or was that the Belgians?

Champollion is very self explanatory, he's a man who knows more than Young and that would make Young inferior to him and would do less of the work, Young has a widespread interest in many fields which would mean that he has less knowledge about the Rosetta Stone or the whole field egyptology itself, the Rosetta Stone was just something he could decipher by using mathematics and he has no interest in the field at all. Young does deserve a credit he should have, and Champollion has no rights to not share a credit with him.

[@Master_Blackthorne]

The ankh is a sandal strap, not a "hooked cross." Odd how an Egyptologist could make an error like that.

[@calmeilles]

I rarely comment negatively on videos because there seems little point but that was shambolic and tedious. Just how does the fact that Champollion's wife's father was a glove-maker impact the deciphering of Egyptian scripts? Had less time been spent on such pointless diversions there might have been less cause to apologise (on three or four occasions?) for the lack of time... Given that the premise of these lectures was the cracking of ancient codes, or as Irving Finkel pointed out more prosaically but accurately the deciphering of ancient languages and scripts this 40 minutes actually seems to gloss over both Champollion's methods and the extent of his eventual achievement. Absurdly so when those very things are set out quite cogently in his _Précis_. It also seems perverse, given how instrumental the Rosetta Stone was, not to show us an example of how the texts were found to correlate or even a reasonable gimps of the inscriptions themselves, only a view of the stele. An opportunity mostly wasted.

[@kennethflorek8532]

I was warned at 0:20 that the talk would be essentially biographical (contrary to my hopes, but not my expectations.) In lectures about science to the general audience, they often will quip that each equation divides the potential audience by a factor of 10, so there will be no equations. Lectures for a general audience about any study appear to observe a parallel, if less stringent, practice with any technical specifics.

I don't think we've got it quite right. Near cartouches, I would expect to see titles and credentials such as PhD BA BSC... Maybe symbols near cartouches are supposed to be translated pictorially rather than phonetically. A picture of a pyramid may indicate constructing one. A picture of a stepped pyramid may indicate repairing a pyramid. Actual use of ankhs and djed poles is still a mystery, but most Pharaoh's have that proficiency listed near thier name.

Piedra imposible !Imposible ! No puede ser. Llevo mas de cincuenta años coleccionando pierdas ,piedras de aquí y de allá ,de todas partes, en mis numerosos viajes o en mis paseos locales siempre vuelvo con alguna pequeña piedra o algún focil que por estos lugares los hay en abundancia. Mi familia esta de piedras hasta la coronilla tanto es así ,que me recomendaron que o bien las tiraba yo o las tiraban ellos , que en la casa no quieren mas piedras. Mi autoridad esta en declive , pronto cumpliré ochenta y tres años y no están las cosas como hace cincuenta años , así es que toca obedecer . Con todo el dolor de mi alma fui llenando mi mochila de pequeñas piedras y en varios días las fui arrojando a un rio cercano a mi domicilio , en varios viajes me deshice de las que para mi tenían menor interés. Ni que decir que el arrojar cada una de las piedras me podía la tristeza , cada vez que me desprendía de una lo hacia con gran pesar ,por ello a cada piedra en el momento de arrojarla al rio le dedicaba alguna frase de despedida. En estas estaba , cuando en el momento de desprenderme de una de ellas. ! Imposible ! No puede ser ,Lo que mis ojos ven no puede ser, sin duda alguna se tiene que tratar de una “ pareydolia”. . Mis ojos , estaban viendo algo irreal , imposible.. Metí la piedra en mi mochila y de vuelta a casa la mostré a mis familiares, rogándoles me dijeran si ellos veían en ella ,algo que no fuera natural, algo que les hiciera pensar que no se trataba de una piedra normal.. Mi gozo en un pozo . Muchos comentarios pero ninguno en favor de mi piedra. Y si alguno relacionado con la edad del abuelo ,perdonar que por respeto a mis canas no mencione las distintas opiniones que sobre mi vejez circularon entre la familia. Para salir de dudas compre una lupa de gran acercamiento con la que pude afianzarme en que lo que veía atreves de ella no era una “ pareydolia” sino que se trataba de cosas extrañas que no se podían ver en otras piedras .En mi interés por salir de dudas y establecer la verdad de lo que podía ocultar mi piedra. Trate de recabar información en el museo de arqueología de mi ciudad ,igualmente en la universidad , en el departamento de geología y en el de arqueología .asi como a una autoridad religiosa. ¿ Cual fue el resultado ? El mismo ,salvo que aquí me despidieron con una sonrisa un tanto burlona .pues según los hombres de ciencia ,mi piedra era uno de tantos pedruscos que se encuentra en cualquier rio. La autoridad religiosa me tranquilizo recomendándome la lectura de el evangelio “Mateo 13,10-17-Ansiaron ver lo que ustedes están viendo “ !Imposible!.No puede ser. No podía escuchar estos razonamientos ,¿como era posible que no fuera capaz de distinguir una piedra natural de una artificial ? Yo que me había criado entre pedruscos , sacando arena de los ríos, trabajando con todo tipo de materiales de construcción y coleccionando piedras durante muchos años . Como no podía ni debía dar conformidad a las voces contrarias a mis pensamientos opte por comprar, sin obedecer consejos familiares, un pequeño microscópico , no conforme compre otro mayor y aun otro mas mayor . Hoy al fin ,tengo el convencimiento de que mi piedra nos es natural ,es artificial, y en ella atreves del microscopio se puede observar un mundo de diversidad , dibujos de animales en su mayoría reptiles ,signos de escritura antigua ,algunos reconocibles. Todos los dibujos, signos o letras ,están formados ineludiblemente desde su inicio por algo parecido a un espermatozoide o renacuajo que al unirse entre ellos forman un reptil , serpiente ,cocodrilo,o lagarto ,dando la sensación de que se estén devorando entre ellos , las figuras o dibujos aparecen con una aureola o arco formada por serpientes o reptiles. ¿Extraño? Muy extraño….¿ Normal ,nada de normal ?…¿.Lógico?,Totalmente ilógico. ¿ De locos? Si, pero quien esto cuenta , afirma estar muy cuerdo pese a su vejez.

Jack = J = 10th letter, a = 1st letter, so,, 10, 1,, now c and k,, c = out of the circle or continuum to the east by its breach on the right side of a circle. this would be east on map-coordinates. or to the right.. copyright with its symbol ``circle around a c`` would be to deny this process.. so think.. this gets into story as well. in the book of Daniel, its said that all will have their hands behind there backs. could this also be delivered to us through legends and peoples taking slanderously credit or part in.. yet this could be to pass a flame so to speak in dreams? copyright, in Genesis all is to the orient or to the east.. Genesis itself is a book of orientation, into the writings. copyright goes possibly way back into story well before we had ``Copyrights``.. a circle around a c to deny the process has been coined. and k = Broken Couple and works numericaly at the 11th letter. so... Jack = 101 Exile Broken Couple, or, Eden? (101 means orientation into education,, buffalo new york 1929,, 10,2,10, 9:50, or, LM.. )101 and S0S,, Make Straight Crooked Path, Make Crooked Straight Method. We Have Had Two Linear Methods. The Line is used to form the Letter and the Letter, The Word. Line= L=12th letter and 12 is holy in some threads. so L = High Step,, Versed Up.. i=630 on the dial hands down,, n = versed down like a cup. or serpent, now e is special and has much potential to be read. e=Horizon Scroll, its appearance similar to a scroll yet the interior is flat,, this part refers to, in this reading, the horizon,, it would be convex if we were birds, we are not, so its flat, like our view of the horizon. so we have line with ark then till under the line and ark for the soils.. so in reality the letter ``e`` could represent.. ``Linear-Arks are Cereals`` in which case we have 160 Deluge Accounts, or Myths,, They Are Cereals. We have a Linear-Ark in the Bible, The Penned Account of Noah and the Ark. or another Ark of the Covenant. ``e`` = for eve,,, ``Horizon Scroll`` knowledge of stars ark on horizon and when to plant seed. and... ``e`` = ``Linear-Arks are Cereals`` by its top shape and till underneath.. Both Paths have been succesfully made Crooked by our Ways. we may need reach back to occulted information to have two Cheiftains in the Home. Mom and Pop.. know it must have been StigPata at some time... Line= VersedUp , DoubleDown , (e=5th letter, 5 = V,, Pens Or Verses Down. and so,) Linear= Versed Up , Double Down , Pens Down, a=adam and pens up, and r = repeat, or, restrict, as this has all been done to death before. Drug=D=quas at half a circle and the fourth letter, 4corners to a frame.. 666, 6 is a cube, a cube could then represent a Living Frame? not just word on stone or paint on canvas. 3 testaments to living frames. major cities? this type of anchor throughout time maybe? check this for a doubling and be careful,, A E , A E I O U,, and sometimes y`i.. there is a doubling on the pronunciation of y as well kinda. A E = A&E or Arts and Entertainments I O U.. be careful this is in effect in ways throughout all writings. r = (R) restrict , 18th letter as well, something about it works to our (R) sign for films.. Copyright is a circle around a c to block the process of stealing eachothers stories this goes way back.. Daniel say everyone with there hands behind their backs.. this is part? u=versed up,, and g=giant(reputations) . Drug = Quaisi Frames Restrict The Versing Up Of Giants, or, The Deluge.. seperations have been drugs in ways. styles seperate us and the money to have them... sorry this is all complicated, its hard to explain.. Disco = 1 word revealing two disks,, one written word and the other the symbol for a disk,, O.. Two disks well knows are Venus and Mars,, Turntables, Disco could be relative somehow to Vampire.. Vampire = Venus & Mars,, p=net or tongue to the northeast, or, Babylone from some persepctives,, and ,, ire, remains are.. Vampire,, = Venus and Mars Babel Ire = via our word we can inflict harm, or, bloods. another warning? c k m o p s u v w x z ... these letters are the same primary and capital,, Prima-Capita?? Prime Letters, A Duality Embodied? Prakriti? z is half a Hindu Swastika,, so we Mirror Z with a 90 degree offset and this literaly becomes then,, Swastika, = ``The Day Of Mirroring Omega``.. ``offset``? does the swastika turn a quarter turn every thousand years with letters on its end parts. a plus sign in a circle with the points of the plus sign touching the circles inner edge gives us a swastika if we fold out those four points. agreement at a table at some time? We are now at Know-Ledge for sure,, Nu-Clear,, yet,, We are supposedly in Babylone the Great... We Need Mom To Step In WIth Empowerment from the Past and we Start Schooling to Use Both Hands In School in Writing and Sport.. less linear approach.:) we are waiting a serious Marriage i think:):):):):):) it says in the scriptures that all letters and particles will carry a frequency of sorts.. look.. because your relativity means everything.. people will find treasure... even if not just for the soul. you can all make leaps and bounds.

I have four questions about the size of the universe before the Big Bang that created the universe Is the universe the size of the proton? Was it the size of the quark or the length of Planck? The second question is about the existence of time and the size of the universe When did the time stop when the size of the universe was proton or quark or Length of Planck? The third question about the length of Planck and the size of the universe before the Big Bang How do energy molecules appear if the size of the universe equals Planck's length? The fourth question is about why the universe expanded How does the universe expand if the size of our universe equals the length of Planck, quark or proton? Why did the universe expand when it was equal to the length of planck, proton or quark? Please send my four questions to cosmologists and physicists We hope the team of the physics lab to search for scientific evidence of the origin of the universe الفضاء

[@8otherwordlyadventurers]

Probably shouldn't blurb this out why would you want to decipher (and I don't know everything about Ancient Egypt) from what I understand mostly ruthless bloody rulers' drawings on the walls that perhaps the children drew? Strang to me. Not very versed in the subject don't really want to be I suppose for those reasons. Just saw this ran off and came back to ask why? curiosity because it's fun?

[@allendracabal0819]

I suppose not really versed for those same reasons. Ancient Egypt mightn't blurb the drawings that children drew. Don't really, but would you want to decipher (and mostly shouldn't)? Even as decided to use? Definitely very strang.

Very interesting. I didn't know the fact that Egyptian writing was forgotten for 2,000 yrs. But how can it happen that the language of the whole nation was forgotten? There sure must have been someone who kept it alive. It's like forgetting English now.

[@camerontaylor7471]

sent4dc many languages have been lost and are currently being in process to extinction... the English language is the chosen word of “god” for the new world order... it was carefully constructed generation to generation by a cabal of occultist.. they channel the energy of the dead world (past) and used the teachings of magic and sorcery they stole from Egypt and other antiquities of wisdom to resurrect a world power for themselves... they are playing with fire which is why the world is in so much the confusion!

[@robertbrandywine]

There weren't many people who could write back then and they were associated with the government and so probably killed when invaders came in and conquered. The spoken language probably slowly changed over the centuries rather than being lost.

[@ajlevi4914]

writing was mainly by the high priests,the peasants couldnot probably after invading Egypt by all those external forces, the nation scattered southwards in the interior of Africa probably thoses languages are being spoken but not written in their original egyptian heirography.

I don't think the Egyptian hieroglyphics is meant to communicate among humans. It was meant to communicate between spiritual elements which they believed they could interact with. How many Rosetta stones are found so far? Are any documents of such , found with multiple languages?

Cymroglyphics. The direct translation of hieroglyphics using Welsh. I promise it’s true. The work was done by Wilson and Blackett.
