Let’s read some hieroglyphs 𓊹𓌃𓏪!
Today 𓏇𓇋𓈖𓇳 we are going to be looking at an inscription 𓎘𓅱𓎖 that includes the name 𓂋𓈖 of a god 𓊹, and the honorific that follows the name 𓂋𓈖 of the god 𓊹!
Here’s a breakdown of the inscription 𓎘𓅱𓎖:
𓇋𓏠𓈖𓇳𓀭 – Amun-Ra
𓎟 – Lord
𓎼𓎼𓎼 – Thrones
So the inscription fully reads “𓇋𓏠𓈖𓇳𓀭𓎟𓎼𓎼𓎼 – Amun-Ra, Lord of the Thrones.” “Lord of the Thrones 𓎟𓎼𓎼𓎼” was a popular honorific to use after the name 𓂋𓈖 of a deity 𓊹 like Amun-Ra 𓇋𓏠𓈖𓇳𓀭 because as he rose to popularity during the New Kingdom, he was considered to be the King of the Egyptian Gods. Amun-Ra 𓇋𓏠𓈖𓇳𓀭 was also referred to as the “Supreme God” and is the combination of the individual deities Amun 𓇋𓏠𓈖 and Ra 𓇳𓁜.
Here are some variants of Amun-Ra’s name 𓂋𓈖 in hieroglyphs 𓊹𓌃𓏪:
𓇋𓏠𓈖𓇳𓀭
𓇋𓏠𓈖𓇳𓏺
𓁩
𓇋𓏠𓈖𓅆
