Letβs read some Hieroglyphs πΉππͺ! Here is Week 4 of my Hieroglyphic Vocabulary Word of the Day stories from Instagram all compiled into a video! This week we focused on some of the pharaohs ππ»π¦ whose names πππ¦ you will commonly see in inscriptions πππ₯!Β
Here are the names πππ¦ we learned this week:
Maatkare π³π¦π (Hatshepsut Throne Name)
Hatshepsut (Foremost of the Noble Women) ππ ππΉππππΌπͺ (Birth Name)
Menkhepperra π³π π£ (Thutmosis III Throne Name)
Akhenaten ππππ³π ππ (Birth Name Variant)
Learning any language – including hieroglyphs πΉππͺ/Middle Egyptian doesnβt have to be difficult! Learning how to read the names πππ¦ of the pharaohs ππ»π¦ in their cartouches π πππ·π¦ is a great place to start because not only do their names πππ¦ appear frequently, but itβs a great way to practice the meaning of the hieroglyphs πΉππͺ!Β
