*Includes pictures *Includes excerpts of ancient accounts *Includes a bibliography for further reading Perhaps not surprisingly given how advanced they were in comparison to contemporaries, the Egyptians invented one of the first writing systems ever, and for centuries, people thought these ancient texts held some sort of secret, be it aliens, advanced technology lost to the world, or mystical cures for all of the world's ills. Even the ancient Egyptians saw their writing systems as full of mystery and hidden knowledge - according to Egyptian mythology, writing was invented by the ibis-headed god Thoth, the most intellectual of the gods. He was a scribe, also associated with mathematics, medicine, and astronomy, and could appear as either an ibis or a baboon. Thoth was originally a lunar god, strongly associated with recording events and time. He is more commonly known as the scribe who records judgment in the famous weighing of the heart scene in which a person's fate in the afterlife is decided To the Egyptians, writing was a gift of the gods and should be used accordingly. It was powerful and had the ability to create. For example, written formula offerings could provide sustenance in multiple ways, including being written, depicting the offerings, and read aloud. Each of these methods brought offerings to the recipient for all of eternity. Speaking words was especially powerful as shown in myths where the gods create in this fashion. One such myth is the "Memphite Theology," where the creator god Ptah creates other beings through the "thoughts of his heart and the words of his mouth." Furthermore, writing a person or a god's name gave them power, and erasing their names took the power away. By placing his name on it, a person or king could usurp a statue from someone else. Since writing was hieroglyphic, it was also art, and the images held power. This is evidenced by signs or images being disfigured in tombs or funerary settings, so as not to hurt the owners. These so-called "mutilated signs" were often of serpents or other animals that were able to harm the deceased. The signs might also be left incomplete for the same purpose. That being said, real people wrote these texts. Some of the scribes might have considered themselves magicians, but they weren't time travelers, aliens, or gods. Ancient Egyptian writing is often extremely complex and filled with puns, vague statements about religious mysteries, and general witty banter. In addition to those extremely well-written and thought-out texts, there is also a range of personal letters, administrative texts, and even graffiti. When reading some of these texts, it is remarkable how similar the people of ancient Egypt were to people today when it came to their daily concerns and even the jokes they told. The ancient Egyptian language was Afro-Asiatic, distantly related to Semitic and African ones, and the writing system only used consonants and not vowels, due to the root system. This is similar to how Arabic or Hebrew is written today. Most words had a root of two or three consonants, and the vowels changed based on the form of the word. Ancient Egyptian Language and Writing: The History and Legacy of Hieroglyphs and Scripts in Ancient Egypt examines the history of writing in Egypt, and how it evolved over thousands of years. Along with pictures depicting important people, places, and events, you will learn about Egyptian language and writing like never before.

The ancient Egyptian language belongs to the family of the Afro-Asiatic languages, which is sometimes called the Semitic-Hamitic language group, which mostly left the Arabian Peninsula and settled in the regions of Southwest Asia and North Africa. It certainly has a close relationship with a specific group of them, which is the group of Semitic languages in their distinctive structures, such as nominal sentences and their ringed sounds, such as Arabic, Amharic, Aramaic, and Hebrew. Hieroglyphs began to appear more than 3400 B.C., as the first hieroglyphs appeared on memorial enclosures and ivory cards. During that long lifetime of the ancient Egyptian language, we find that it has undergone many changes, which led researchers to divide its history into five major stages: 1) Old Egyptian: the name given to the oldest stage in the history of the language. Although the ancient Egyptian language began to appear more than 3400 BC, the early writings were names and short writings, so we can say that the Egyptian language in the ancient era really began around 2600 BC with the beginning of the state era Ancient and lasted until the year 2100 BC. M. We will call this stage the ancient Egyptian language. The famous texts of the pyramids were recorded according to the rules and spelling of this stage. 2) Middle Egyptian language: Middle stage: This stage began to appear around the year 2100 BC. M, and it lasted about five hundred years as a language for speaking and writing, as it remained the main stage in the history of the ancient Egyptian language where it represents the classical or era of linguistic eloquence in the history of the Egyptian language and it is the stage in which it reached the peak of its development and maturity and brought us out the most wonderful pieces of literary knowledge in Egyptian literature. Whereas this stage, which was called the medieval Egyptian language, represents the most complete picture reached by the ancient Egyptian language, it became the best topic to start with when studying the ancient Egyptian language. And the beginner student of the Egyptian language nowadays usually starts his first steps by learning the Egyptian language during this stage. 3) The late Egyptian language: this stage began to replace the medieval language stage as a language for speaking and writing after 1600 BC. M. It was in use until the year 600 BC. This stage, which has been termed the Egyptian language in the late era, is known in trade documents and letters from the Ramesside era, during which it is clear that there are many foreign vocabulary words in the Egyptian language.It is noted here that the stages of the development of the Egyptian language in different eras have differed from the early stage of the history of Egyptian writing, at least in grammatical rules. The form of writing followed in the late stage of the ancient Egyptian language appeared in the texts before 1600 BC, but it did not appear in full form until after 1300 BC. M. 4) Demotic: It is an advanced stage of the language stage in the late era. The demotic period began to appear around the eighth century BC and its use continued until the fifth century AD. 5) Coptic writing: It is the last stage of the ancient Egyptian language, which came immediately after the demotic stage. Early evidence of this writing began to appear around the third century BC, and the language of communication among Egyptians remained for more than a thousand years.

This book provides a unique perspective on the linguistic relationships between the Ancient Egyptian and Bantu languages of East/Central/Southern Africa. It will be of interest to readers of Egyptology, linguists, students, and the wider public who wish to find out more about the structure of the Ancient Egyptian language and how it connects with other languages, particularly with Bantu languages. The subject matter is different from other books as it examines the etymology of words, together with their sound/meaning relationships and shows by using verifiable hieroglyphic forms how Ancient Egyptian words may be pronounced by inserting Bantu vowels which fit the meanings derived from the skeletal templates of consonants in the Ancient Egyptian language.
