OK, I am going to throw down a gauntlet here, because I think you have bought into this idea!! 0.0 !! ?huh?
--- and
For a language tied to vision, not tied to the ears (like modern -- post floods) I believe this is an incorrect path of logic.

Modern peoples are almost completely dependent upon conceptualizing through auditory cues.

Try to think without an internal voice . . . Can you do it?

The artist does, however, though the artist may not be able to verbally comment on his work!
Some people really struggle with art appreciation, others still have a conceptual pathway tied to the visual areas of the brain! These are people who see meaning in archetypes, symbols, etc ... a skill which sharpens with attention.

Quote

Every word had a single set concrete meaning with no "wiggle room" at all.

But every "thing", every concept had three words and these were divided into three classes of words. One class defined the subject, one defined the object, and the other implied the meaning of the sentence.

Noun -- Verb -- Modifier . . .
Good for Coptic, not so good for a language which is "visual" and does not pass through the auditory pathways of the brain.

In the visual language, the "image" is the item, itself. It's attributes are its defining characteristics as understood in the encompassing cultural meilu. Understanding is also visual . . . This leaves the untutored out of the group of understanding people. ☆⊙☆{Heiroglyphs are a language of another race, hiding in plain sight.}☆⊙☆ imvho

Maybe we are all spin-offs of that race, maybe they are our progenitors, but it is not without a quantum connection that the glyphs come to conceptual life, though the Coptic translitteration of the 3 way stone helped us along in great measure, I believe it is foolish to think it gave us the whole picture.

I am not going to take up the last paragraph, as you are addressing a different audience, and this is your thread.

The Egyptians lived immersed in Magic, because their language and culture were transmitter through visual means.

Modern cultures of the West have divested themselves of living in magic (cut themselves off from spirit) . . by making the language and thus the couching of almost the entire cultural meilu into an auditory framework. Perhaps it helps with stability?

So, I am a bit goofy, Mars is inhabited, our ancestors who built Egypt might be lots older than we think, and quite a few other ideas. However, I also appreciate the opportunity to share.


OK, you've already said this here:
[grahamhancock.com]

I have not read the whole theead! Yet . . .

There should be a data base with the glyphs for the abreviations which have been made . . . This would sooth my curious tendencies and keep me frommassigning peanut butter and jelly loaf or millet, corn and barley beer to his abreviations.

You know ... if a book of visual concepts of Egyptian Heiroglyphs were co-authored by say 20 or 30 of these dedicated folks . . . It would be a wonderful thing!

Edited to add link to your post saying same things+ minutae . . . :-)
