General comments

• The language page has a lot of material on it and can be a bit overwhelming. I have highlighted a few of those items that my classmates and I in NML240 & NML340 found to be of most value with red stars. ★★★
• Egyptian pharonic names are problematic. In addition to there being up to five different ones for a given pharaoh, hieroglyphic writing is more like shorthand than normal text. Vowels are not indicated and there are no spaces between words. Finally, many names - particularly the best known ones - have been influenced by Greek.

What's New

1. 2025-01-22: An early version of a major new section on Egyptian History has been released. It can be accessed from the menu bar on the left side of this page. It is still under development, but it currently has the skeletons of four areas:
   1. An interactive timeline of Egyptian History, showing pharaoh list, names in hieroglyphs, transliteration, pronumication, and meaning, as well as major events through history.
   2. An interactive map of Egypt that displays information on the name and significance of important Egyptian cities and towns.
   3. A table that maps royal pyramid locations to the appropriate pharoh. This is helpful in building a map of pyramid locations through time.
   4. A list of reference works supporting the material.

Note: This website uses RES (by Jan Nederhof of St. Andrew's University) to format hieroglyphs. Formatting is quite slow in Chrome, but it is very fast in Firefox, which I generally recommend for viewing this website.
