Book excerpt: Marveling over the tomb treasures of Ramses II and Tutankhamen that have toured U.S. and European museums in recent years, visitors inevitably wonder what the mysterious hieroglyphs that cover their surfaces mean. Indeed, everyone who is fascinated by ancient Egypt sooner or later wishes for a Rosetta stone to unlock the secrets of hieroglyphic writing. Hieroglyphs without Mystery provides the needed key. Written for ordinary people with no special language skills, the book quickly demonstrates that hieroglyphic writing can be read, once a few simple principles are understood. Zauzich explains the basic rules of the writing system and the grammar and then applies them to thirteen actual inscriptions taken from objects in European and Egyptian museums. By following his explanations and learning the most commonly used glyphs, readers can begin to decode hieroglyphs themselves and increase their enjoyment of both museum objects and ancient Egyptian sites. Even for the armchair traveler, learning about hieroglyphs opens a sealed door into ancient Egyptian culture. In examining these inscriptions, readers will gain a better understanding of Egyptian art, politics, and religion, as well as language.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hieroglyphic Key For the last two and a half hundred years, many Egyptologists have been searching and deciphering the Egyptian hieroglyphics and claiming that they have deciphered the hieroglyphics signs. But the truth is that not a single Egyptologist has been able to read even a single hieroglyphic sign. All their claims are false and wild guesses. This book contains the key from which you can unlock the mystery not only of Hieroglyphics but also the origin of Alpha-beta and any script of the world. You will know for the first time the true meaning of hundreds of words like Km.t, Mummy, Cairo, Ra, Eye of Horus and Ptolemy. Gardiner’s sign list (D30) phonetic is ‘nachb-kAw’ means ‘god Nehebkau’. It is neither two-headed snake nor the two arms raised in the prayer. The hieroglyph is based on Sanskrit homonyms word na–th-h नाथः which means ‘A rope passed through the nose of a draft ox or any pet. The other meanings are ‘a lord, master, protector, leader, God, husband. This hieroglyph was used mostly for ‘the lightning god’. (M22) Phonetic is ‘nichb’ means ‘sedge, reed’. Neither the hieroglyph is showing sedge or a reed. Actually, the pictograph was sketched to show the furrow in a field. The two side arms, which are declared ‘a set of leaves’ by European Egyptologists, these arm type lines are not leaves but showing the ridges like letter V between a furrows. The upper turn shows to come back for next furrow. Based on Sanskrit, the word is sh–mb-h शम्बः which means ‘Lightning: ploughing of a field and makes furrow, track or line as the lightning uses to plough the clouds. Other meanings are ‘To go, move, happy, fortunate’. Alan Gardiner declared this hieroglyph logogram U1 as a ‘sickle’ without knowing the Egyptian culture. Though, his searching of phonetic sound of first letter of the word ‘ma’ was correct. Next diphthong ng was forgotten by Copts. Alas! Egyptologists would have searched the ancient boats of Egypt. The Egyptian hieroglyph Gardiner sign listed no.U1 is a Sanskrit based Egyptian word m-ng मन्ग, which means ‘the head or front of a boat’. (E26) Transliteration ‘3b, 3bu, eb’ by European Egyptologist is not correct. Only Sanskrit has its correct word e–bh-h इभः which means ‘an elephant as well as cloud’. The other synonyms for an elephant are ‘g-j गज] h-sti हस्ती m-tn-g मतंग, ku-mbhi कुम्भी, m-d-k-l मदकल g-je-ndr गजेन्द्र ku-nj-r कुजंर dwi-p द्विप va-r-n वारण k-ri-sh करीश*. This hieroglyph of an elephant could be used for all synonyms words which mean ‘an elephant as well as cloud. ‘Opening of the mouth’ ceremony or ritual --- (F- 13) phonetic is ‘wp, jp’ means ‘horn’. But the real Sanskrit’s word is shri-nga श्रृन्गा which means ‘the horn’. (D-21) phonetic is ‘r, rr, p (kh) ar’ means ‘mouth’. But true word of Sanskrit is r-nh रन्ह which means ‘talketive, speaking. Often the first letter r of this hieroglyph has used in Egyptian texts. Egyptologists have misinterpreted the above hieroglyphic description as ‘opening of the mouth’. The Sanskrit complete word of Shri-nga श्रृन्गा of F13 and first letter r र of D21 (r-nh) is taken. Thus the complete conjunctive word is Shri-nga+r श्रृन्गार which means ‘A fragrant for dress or body, to make up, adornment of body’. This refinement by makeup of mummy (shabti) was ritual. The term Shri–nga-r (makeup) is for both the living and the dead person. Guessing to see the open horns means ‘opening of the mouth ceremony’ is wild guess. Not only this, the key given in this book is Australian aborigine and also reveals the mysteries of the language of the Kenya and the tribal of Africa. The key given in this book opens the locks of hidden secrets of every ancient religion, culture and civilization of the world, not just Peru, Inca and Maya.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hieroglyphs, the ingenious picture writing of the ancient Egyptians, are not only a beautiful and fascinating record of a bygone civilization, but also a treasury of puns, double meanings and aesthetic delight. Their pictorial character, often obscured today by concentration on literal sense, engaged the Egyptians as much as it dos a modern audience, and they offer not only direct accounts of life thousands of years ago but intriguing sidelights on Egyptian art, culture and belief. Internationally renowned Egyptologist Professor Zauzich presents a clear and well-illustrated introduction to hieroglyphs, for all enthusiasts and museum visitors. In easy stages he takes the reader step by step through the meanings of the signs and how they can be read. He then takes a dozen inscriptions on monuments, paintings and objects, and shows how to read each one - a feature found in no other guide. The author analyses the background to the signs, and the religion and world view which they embody. Fantastic colour illustrations and detailed line drawings fully clarify this system of pictorial symbology; and detailed appendices give the names of major kings and gods, as well as a hieroglyphic sig

Book excerpt: Not Out of Africa has sparked widespread debate over the teaching of revisionist history in schools and colleges. Was Socrates black? Did Aristotle steal his ideas from the library in Alexandria? Do we owe the underlying tenets of our democratic civilizaiton to the Africans? Mary Lefkowitz explains why politically motivated histories of the ancient world are being written and shows how Afrocentrist claims blatantly contradict the historical evidence. Not Out of Africa is an important book that protects and argues for the necessity of historical truths and standards in cultural education.For this new paperback edition, Mary Lefkowitz has written an epilogue in which she responds to her critics and offers topics for further discussion. She has also added supplementary notes, a bibliography with suggestions for further reading, and a glossary of names.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mysteries associated with ancient Egypt are not confined to the pyramids of Giza. For example, consider these: One Egyptian hieroglyph is patterned after a bird known as the jabiru; another is an image of a saguaro cactus. Both the jabiru and the saguaro are found only in the Western Hemisphere, so how did they become hieroglyphs? Tutankhamen is referred to as the boy-king by Egyptologists. Why then were statues found in the tomb portraits of a young woman? Hatshepsut is said to have been a female pharaoh who reigned for 22 years but then disappeared from the scene. What happened to her? And why was her image expunged from the walls of temples? Senenmut, a favorite of Hatshepsut, wrote that he had access to all the writings of the prophets. Which prophets did he mean? Why does the face of the mummy of Ramesses II not match the statues of this great pharaoh? Also, why did the embalmers remove the stomach and place the heart on the right side of the thorax? And why were diced tobacco leaves from the Western Hemisphere used to line the chest cavity? Why was Yuya, supposedly the father of the great Queen Tiy, buried with three coffins while his wife had only two? Moreover, why did the mask that covered his face, along with the face on the innermost coffin, look totally different from the mummy and from each other? Death masks were found not just in Egypt but in Greece as well. The most famous of these came from grave # 5 at Mycenae. Each eye of this gold mask has double eyelids. In addition, like the Sphinx at Giza and the Shroud of Turin, the left eye is higher than the right and the mouth is not centered. How can such similarities be explained? Turning to Italy, on the underside of the right wrist of the Prima Porta statue of Augustus there is the distinct impression of the head of a spike. According to historians this statue depicts the first emperor of Rome, but what if it is instead a portrait of a man who was crucified? These mysteries, along with many others, are examined in detail and then convincingly explained in this first of two volumes to explore crucial links between Egypt, Israel, Greece and Italy.

Book excerpt: Throughout the pharaonic period, hieroglyphs served both practical and aesthetic purposes. Carved on stelae, statues, and temple walls, hieroglyphic inscriptions were one of the most prominent and distinctive features of ancient Egyptian visual culture. For both the literate minority of Egyptians and the vast illiterate majority of the population, hieroglyphs possessed a potent symbolic value that went beyond their capacity to render language visible. For nearly three thousand years, the hieroglyphic script remained closely bound to indigenous notions of religious and cultural identity. By the late antique period, literacy in hieroglyphs had been almost entirely lost. However, the monumental temples and tombs that marked the Egyptian landscape, together with the hieroglyphic inscriptions that adorned them, still stood as inescapable reminders that Christianity was a relatively new arrival to the ancient land of the pharaohs. In Egyptian Hieroglyphs in the Late Antique Imagination, Jennifer Westerfeld argues that depictions of hieroglyphic inscriptions in late antique Christian texts reflect the authors' attitudes toward Egypt's pharaonic past. Whether hieroglyphs were condemned as idolatrous images or valued as a source of mystical knowledge, control over the representation and interpretation of hieroglyphic texts constituted an important source of Christian authority. Westerfeld examines the ways in which hieroglyphs are deployed in the works of Eusebius and Augustine, to debate biblical chronology; in Greek, Roman, and patristic sources, to claim that hieroglyphs encoded the mysteries of the Egyptian priesthood; and in a polemical sermon by the fifth-century monastic leader Shenoute of Atripe, to argue that hieroglyphs should be destroyed lest they promote a return to idolatry. She argues that, in the absence of any genuine understanding of hieroglyphic writing, late antique Christian authors were able to take this powerful symbol of Egyptian identity and manipulate it to serve their particular theological and ideological ends.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like the Great Pyramid, mysteries surround the other pyramids as well as other features found at the Giza plateau in Egypt. For example: Why does the second pyramid have two entrances, both off center, while the single entrance to the third pyramid is centered? What was the purpose of the two lower chambers in the second pyramid? Moreover, why was the sarcophagus in this pyramid made to be wider than the passages that lead to the upper chamber? In a related matter, why were the bones of a bull placed in the sarcophagus? And why was the sarcophagus sunk into the floor up to its lid? At the third pyramid, why were parts of a body dating to the Christian period wrapped in a coarse yellow woolen cloth and buried beneath three feet of rubbish in the upper chamber? Why in the third pyramid was the lower vaulted chamber designed so that it would absorb both sound and light? Out on the plateau, what was the purpose of the so-called trial passages? On the south side of the Great Pyramid, why was an ancient boat dismantled and buried in a pit east of that pyramids north-south axis? And what was stored in the other pit west of the axis? Do the four so-called air shafts in the Great Pyramid link the three major pyramids together? And how are the compartments above the Kings Chamber related to the end time? David Furlong, author of The Keys to the Temple, says the whole of the Giza complex was based on a coherent design intended to portray a spiritual theme (page 89). Volume 2 of Books Written in Stone: Enoch the Seer, the Pyramids of Giza, and the Last Days provides the evidence to support this thesis.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Great Pyramid--mysteries abound . . . For example: Why was the subterranean chamber apparently abandoned and yet it is larger than the Queen's Chamber and the King's Chamber combined? Why is there a pit in the floor of the subterranean chamber, and why does the narrow passage that snakes south off the subterranean chamber come to a sudden end after 53 feet? Why was sand from the Sinai hidden behind the wall of the horizontal passage to the Queen's Chamber, and why is there a sudden drop in that passage? Why was the Grand Gallery built so large in comparison to the ascending passage, and why are the slots in the ramps of the Grand Gallery empty? Why was the antechamber to the King's Chamber built with both limestone and granite blocks, and what purpose could the so-called Granite Leaf have served? Egyptologists, pyramidologists, and others outside these two camps have attempted to explain such anomalies. Their theories are examined and compared to a new vision that answers not just some of the questions about the Great Pyramid but all of them as revealed in Books Written in Stone: Enoch the Seer, the Pyramids of Giza, and the Last Days.
