[EAN: 9780714109312], Gebraucht, guter Zustand, [PU: BRITISH MUSEUM, London England], HIEROGLYPHS BEFORE DECIPHERMENT, ROSETTA STONE DISCOVERED, DESCRIPTION, MGREEK SECTION, ### The Rosetta Stone - 1998 ### ~#~ On 24 August AD 394 on the island of Philae at the southern border of Egypt hieroglyphs were used apparently for the last time to inscribe the ancient Egyptian language. The final inscription on stone in demotic, the latest and most cursive of the three scripts employed by the ancient Egyptians, is dated less than sixty years later, to AD 452. Although, possible that demotic written in ink, brush or pen on papyrus was in use a little longer, for all useful purposes during the next 1,370 years ancient Egypt was silent, for the art of reading her old scripts was lost. There was no one to give voice to the countless hieroglyphic inscriptions which swarmed all over her monuments or to the texts in cursive hieratic and demotic crowded on papyri and flakes of stone and pottery. However, the language itself survived written in Greek letters supplemented by seven signs borrowed from demotic, in a form called Coptic, which is the script and language of the Christian descendants Ethe ancient Egyptians. Indeed, the word Coptic is merely a form of Aiguptios, that is, Egyptian. Coptic as a spoken language died out in the sixteenth century AD but still, read in Coptic churches today. Its vocabulary consists of a mixture of ancient Egyptian and Greek words. Of even greater importance later, early Coptic primers were written in Arabic so, anyone who could read Arabic had access to the final form of the ancient Egyptian language. ~#~ THIS BOOK: A New book, with plenty of drawings and symbols to keep you interested. Nice clean book full of interesting data. #### INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: Please Note.
