So let\u2019s take a look at what it actually says: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud80c\udeb9\ud80c\ude7c – Great God<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud80c\udeaa\ud80c\udfcf\ud80c\udf9b – Ptah<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All \ud80c\udf9f together \ud80c\ude16\ud80c\ude97, the inscription \ud80c\udfdf\ud80c\udfdb\ud80c\udfe5 reads “Great God Ptah.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let\u2019s take a closer look at each of the symbols: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The \u201ccloth on a pole \ud80c\udeb9\u201c hieroglyph is an ideogram for the word god. \ud80c\udeb9 is also a triliteral phonogram, and represents the letters \u201cntr\u201d which may have been pronounced like \u201cneter.\u201d \ud80c\udeb9 Is also a determinative for \u201cgod.\u201d So the \u201ccloth on a pole \ud80c\udeb9\u201c symbol can function as all three types of hieroglyphs \ud80c\udeb9\ud80c\udf03\ud80c\udfea. If you see this symbol, you are most likely looking at a word that has to do with the gods \ud80c\udeb9\ud80c\udeb9\ud80c\udeb9!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The \u201cwooden column \ud80c\ude7c\u201d hieroglyph is a biliteral phonogram which represents the sound \u201c\u02c13.\u201d This symbol does have a variant, \ud80c\ude7b, which means the same, it\u2019s just oriented at a different angle! But I\u2019ve never seen it upside down before! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The \u201cstool \ud80c\udeaa\u201d is a uniliteral phonogram for the sound \u201cp.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The \u201cflat loaf of bread \ud80c\udfcf\u201d is a uniliteral phonogram used to represent the sound \u201ct.\u201d It also functions as the ideogram for the word \u201cbread \ud80c\udfcf\ud80c\udffa\u201d and can be used to make words feminine! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The \u201cwick \ud80c\udf9b\u201d is a uniliteral phonogram for the sound \u201ch.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Lets\u2019s read some hieroglyphs \ud80c\udeb9\ud80c\udf03\ud80c\udfea! Today \ud80c\udfc7\ud80c\uddcb\ud80c\ude16\ud80c\uddf3 we are going to be looking at an inscription \ud80c\udfdf\ud80c\udfdb\ud80c\udfe5 that is part of the West Wall of the Tomb Chapel of Kaemsenu. This inscription \ud80c\udfdf\ud80c\udfdb\ud80c\udfe5 is a little bit tricky to read at first because one of the symbols is actually upside down!!
