clipper's remarks: Ever wonder about hieroglyphic, the inscription on Egyptian monuments as well as a variety of written texts on papyrus.
n 313 BC. Alexander the Great invaded Egypt. His legacy was carried on by his general Ptolemeus and his successors in Egypt. That legacy, simply stated, was to have a universal culture. Such culture would of course be the Greek or Hellenistic one. With the culture comes the language, so it became the proper way for the educated classes to learn Greek and encourage their children to learn it for the economical as well as the social advantages. In script, the Greek was far superior to the Demotic, the last surviving Egyptian script at the time. It offered 24 characters all pronounceable as opposed to over 400 symbols that only a small percentage represented sounds and the rest were ideograms.

The Greeks learned their writing system from the Egyptians through the frequent travelers of the ancient world, the Phoenicians. In the course of their commercial dealings with

COPTIC

The Coptic Language is the name used to refer to the last stage of the written Egyptian language. Coptic should more correctly be used to refer to the script rather than the language itself.

The ancient Egyptians devised a writing system to record their spoken language over 60 centuries ago.

The first application seems to have been the calendar. The system started by giving each word a symbol, called hieroglyph.

Out of such ideas they took some of these hieroglyphs and associated a sound value to them which, when combined together, would spell out the spoken word.

Thus the hieroglyph for mouth, pronounced 'ro' became the sound 'r' in the new system.

In parallel with the development of the hieroglyphic script, a second script came to light.

It was originally devised by the priests to record the records of the temples and then became a tool of the government servants, educated by the learned priests, who used it to record the affairs of the state.

LAYLA: Egyptian name meaning "born at night."

CLEOPATRA: "Glory of the father." Latin form of Greek Kleopatra. Cleopatra VII reigned as Queen of Egypt from 51-30 B.C. She was born in 69 B.C. in Alexandria, Egypt and is believed to have been black African.

ISIS: Greek name of an Egyptian goddess of magic. The name literally means "(female) of throne," which is usually translated "Queen of the throne," but the Egyptian hieroglyph for her name means "(female) of flesh," in other words "mortal woman." Isis is a Greek corruption of her true name which is unknown because Egyptian hieroglyphs left out most of the vowels.

MIU: Egyptian name meaning "gentleness."

NAFRETITI: Egyptian name meaning "I arrive with beauty."

NAILAH: Egyptian name meaning "successful."

SANURA: Egyptian name meaning "kitten."

ZAHRA: Egyptian name meaning "flower."

MAYAN SPACE RACE

During the cold war of the 70's the United States and the Soviet Union were locked in an on going battle of one upmanship. The on going challenge for supremacy in space. Each side taking huge financial and human risks in an effort to crush the technological competition. Could Ancient Empires that existed long before recorded history have been players in a similar space race? An amazing hieroglyph carved on a 5 ton tomb cover that rested in the Mayan Temple of Inscriptions, defines a complex machine. The Temple itself was built from precise directions from the "Sky Gods". Scientist and Archaeologists have gone to great lengths to denounce any connection between the carving and Ancient Astronauts.
