I'm an amateur sculptor and my 10 year old daughter is fascinated by ancient Egyptian culture so I'm using your videos to write something for her on "stone" tablets.  Her name is Chloey (Greek orgins) and I want to include her dog, Coco in some way as well.  I found the alphabet charts first but I prefer it to be as accurate as possible so thank you for these videos!

I learn far more from these video's ...  than reading the books.

I really appreciate the time you put into explaining the details about ancient Egypt in these videos you are making.  They are very educational and this one may be my favorite.
Thank you again.

it is really difficult, very different from our modern concept of language, but it is so cool and interesting!

Love from India

This is great. My best YouTube channel ever. Thank you so much. I hope you make more videos.

I'm doing a school report then teaching kids how to write their own names how would you write Enrique and Isaiah

Another great video - thanks for taking the time to create these for us to learn from!

In Spanish little children increase letter recognition if given a picture of a familiar noun and  they identify it with the starting letter. We can also do it with syllables. "A" de "avión", "e" de "elefante", they know what those things are (plane, elephant). But it might only work with direct correlation graph - sound. Next time they encounter that letter they'll know how to pronounce it. In English this is not possible or sensible (Ava, apple, Art.. I've understood children learn to discriminate full words); however, in Spanish it is useful, because it is a language that works adding syllables to create words.

I am pretty sure that "the stick thrown to birds" was pretty common place so that people would know what it meant, and the same for most symbols. Now I believe there's probably another side to that text. We have the stick next to an actual bird, so maybe apart from literal meaning, there is a figurative meaning to that text, like catching two birds with a stick, for example (I don't know, just guessing)

It comes together with practice, but I prefer English. Wouldn't each priest or artist choose different Hieroglyphs depending on his or her thought process? For example when giving travel directions some people emphasize landmarks for example:
"Go that way till you reach the post office and then go left till you reach the fountain and it's the red door on the right"
and other people would only describe distances:
"Go two blocks straight and go left for one block and you'll see the sign on the right."

So the vulture represents the letter A. in Melinda ?   Why ?

Hi im trying to find out what the double helix means by itself not with the hand of ka

WHAT  on earth does an OWL drawing -have to do with "going out from the house  "  ??????

i'm  Egyptian

Great video! Thank you! Isn’t the hieroglyph ‘lion’ the representative of letter ‘ L ‘?

I have a small question. Could you not use the Lion ideogram as an "L" for your name? So if I had to try and spell your name. Owl-Lion-fluffy plant-water squiggle-glove-a (like the bird you have).

awesome video
i  am wondering is it possible that to spell your name as MRND in hieroglyphs? or the vowel at the end must be presented?

It is very hard to find videos that teach us to read real hieroglyphs, i want to understand from real hieroglyphs, not learn write silly things expressions as "I dropped my phone from my car", "My name is kitkat". There is thousands of videos teaching how to write crazy things. A lot of bla...bla...bla..., but the real thing we cannot see.

What is a determinative ?   a picture of a man or woman ?    huh ?
