The level on which specialists can read hyrogliphts is actually way higher and more detailed then I thought. Very cool to see.

[@dianeweiss4562]

Love this video. I have studied formal Arabic so the concept of the dual is apparently more widespread than I imagined. In 2017, I visited a neighbor who relocated to Cairo. We to the train from Cairo to Luxor along with her children. After a few days, they went north and I rode the train to Aswan. I hired a car an driver in Aswan and drove back to Luxor stopping in Kom Omba where I learned about Sobek, the crocodile god. There was a museum with mummified crocodiles and informative reading throughout the delightful museum. The Temple was actually the Temple of Horus and Sobek. Fascinating to bring some of my travel memories together.

[@waelisc]

Perhaps interestingly, English did distinguish singular, dual and plural too, during the Anglo-Saxon period, although it's barely a trace, now. Knowing English, Arabic and Egyptian had the dual means it's probably widespread across the Eurasian and African continents, since I believe those three languages are descendants of different language families [correction: whilst English belongs to the Proto-Indo-European language family, whereas Arabic and Egyptian are in fact related, both from the Afro-Asiatic family. I should add, whether PIE, A-A and other language families are ultimately related too hasn't been established].

[@maximkuzin2487]

Dual is steal in use in Church-Slavonic language, the liturgical language of Russian orthodox old believers church.

[@1earflapping]

@@waelisc Yes, the dual survives in modern English in the words scissors, ballocks, trousers, pants. These nouns give rise to awkward forms because the concept of dual number is no longer understood. People don’t want to say “pants is”, so they say “pants are “ or “a pair of pants is”. I saw a clothing catalog that tried to deal with this by eliminating the s, and calling the item a pant. Absurd.

[@waelisc]

@@1earflapping I've noticed some of that singular-plural confusion too and still can't get used to it. I reckon the tendency to contract "there are" to "there's" increasingly contributes to this as well and am honestly quite curious to see just how far it all goes, whether English might begin to lose certain singular-plural distinctions altogether, but I suppose we'll see.

[@1earflapping]

@@waelisc I think the singular-plural distinction will survive. It’s the dual nouns that are creating a problem for contemporaryEnglish speakers.

I have a large two volume dictionary of Ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphs, and a book of a full translation of the Book of the Dead. Many years ago, one of my art teachers had us paint a large mural in ancient Egyptian style. Most of the students just copied out of books, I did my painting, but then surrounded it with a lot of text that actually said something. For the record, it WASN'T something polite. I revel in the fact I got kudos from the principle of the school for a painting that called his various hygiene and sexual practices into question and cast doubt upon the marital status of his parents. I love those books.

At 19:06 we see the two shrines are translated as "the Shedet one" but before when we saw the two lines (14:30) we are told repetition is there to represent dualism (Lord of the two lands). So how do you tell the difference between a duplicate symbol to determine if it means "two of something" or if it means turning a noun into an adjective? And, of course, this is a wonderful video. Much love and gratitude to all for this information.

@Thomas Singer My hero! Thank you for the explanation :)

[@Doraphobic]

That woman is a treasure to be protected ❤ Thank you for teaching us !

[@reginaldbauer5243]

To Dr. Ilona Regulski: Is the following accurate/correct to say then ---- Egyptian Hieroglyphs have more than one possible reading, dependent on context. Signs could have both a phonetic (single consonant or syllable) value or an ideogrammatic (word) reading, but could even be utilized as phonetic complements or logograms (a written character that represents a word or phrase), reinforcing the reading of words they were attached to.

[@britishmuseum]

Very much so! Hieroglyphs can be tricky, because even through they look like pictures, most of the time the meaning of the sign is not the same as the thing pictured. It is a mixed script - some signs are alphabetic, like the letters in our alphabet. Other signs make a group of sounds, like a syllable. Still other signs are an entire word. Occasionally the same hieroglyph can do all three things! And sometimes, hieroglyphs aren’t pronounced at all - these are called ‘determinatives’, and they sit at the end of a word to give us a clue to the meaning of that word.

[@ssvinny2536]

The curator has a big brain!!!

[@ChicagoTurtle1]

Ilona, since you’re really into grammar, can you explain the hieroglyph grammar? Particularly syntax and morphology. So what was the word order? Was it mainly SOV, like many of the Eastern Mediterranean? What the morphology more agglutinative (attaching grammar to verbs) or synthetic (function words that are free-floating like English)?

After watching the webinar earlier and now this, I'm really looking forward to visiting the exhibition on the 29th. I'm only coming back to the UK for a short visit, but will always make time for the BM.

[@britishmuseum]

Enjoy your time in the exhibition and thanks for making time for us on a short trip

[@alexandra.etush1]

Well done! I love these videos and Ilona’s passion for and deep well of knowledge in this incredible system of art / language. Brava!

[@melissaharris3389]

I've thought hieroglyphs were beautiful but I never knew that the ancient Egyptians also viewed their writing similarly and basically invented graphic design.

[@rubbaclaymo2822]

Ilona is a boss. what an infectious passion

[@asosbibus4247]

This is so facinating! Egyptians were a great peoples. Would really want to visit the museum.

[@johnburman966]

The earliest cave art to me is communication from heart and mind, very sophisticated subtle meaning. The Egyptians seem to have extended this concept into a systematically reproducible form.

[@Themarkofegypt007]

Excellent and informative video, this is Mark, I'm a tour guide at the Grand Egyptian museum...I'd love to thank you for such video and btw we Egyptians still till nowadays use the ancient Egyptian language in our daily conversations; for example whenever we wanna praise someone else we go to person and say "You have a Shen and Ren" which means basically "you're a pharaoh", 'cause only the pharaoh was allowed to have his or her name written on such manner...thanks a bunch and I'm waiting for you over there.

I think even my English teachers in school looked at grammar as a necessary evil. I love Curtors Corner.

[@lawrencecarlstrom3465]

Curator's corner I mean.

[@turkeydimple]

Wonderful exhibit!!! So inspired that we've booked a Nile cruise in 2025 to see and learn more about this fascinating culture and period in history.

[@HebaruSan]

The presenters were great, but the editor made some weird choices. Why the parts where the screen fades to and from black? Just let us see the things.

[@Juraberg]

The lady gives very interesting and easy to understand explanations 👍🏼. It's a shame that the young man keeps interrupting with stupid comments.

[@ekojar3047]

Eminems Hat . Got it ! 👍

[@CShep99]

their writing system is so convoluted I can see now why it was impossible to translate before the Rosetta stone!

[@dadsonworldwide3238]

I can't believe that people have become so uncomfortable saying , person , man or feminine. It's just uncalled for .

[@Rory-q5p]

Unfortunately this is true throughout our societies today. Either fight back or take it on the chin.

[@GreekLady188]

An great idea to make this video withbthe both if you. It worked really well. Played off of each other in a way that will probably bring new people to the subject. It's always a plus when new people come to be interested in museums with all the wonderful findings that it has to offer.

[@Steviepinhead]

The curator was excellent. The presenter guy was presumably meant to help the average viewer relate, by coming off as even more confused and ignorant than the average viewer. Probably a nice guy in real life, but mostly just super annoying here.
