  • Egyptian Quiz
    Glasgow Museums Resource Centre Ancient Egypt Quiz Notes Round 1 - Life in Ancient Egypt Question 1 The Nile is the longest river in the world at over 4000 miles long Question 2 Khemet - The Black Land, named after the black tar-like silt that was dredged up when the Nile flooded every year, bringing nutrients to the soil and allowing crops to grow Interesting point - the word ‘Deshret’ is where we get our word for ‘desert’ from Question 3 There are different ways of measuring it, but most scholars will say around 760 hieroglyphs Hieroglyphs can be read up, down, left and right - you look at which way the figures are looking to guide you. The figures will always be looking towards the beginning of the ‘sentence’. Object notes This limestone stela fragment was given to Glasgow Museums by Miss J. May Buchanan in 1912.It preserves parts of six columns of a hieroglyphic inscription separated by vertical lines. The surviving text is part of a hymn to the sun in the form of the god Ra-Horakhty, a combination of the sun-god, Ra, with the falcon god, Horus-of-the-Two-Horizons. The inscription reads: '[Giving praise to Ra]-Hor-akhty, when he goes to his rest in life in this his great mountain […] he says, ‘Hail to you, great one of the Ennead, who comes into being […] in peace to the land of the Western mountain […]' '[… when] he rises in the eastern horizon of the sky, by the servant / deputy […] praise […]' Hymns invoking Amun-Ra-Horakhty do not appear before the 20th Dynasty, suggesting a date of the 20th Dynasty for this fragment.

They called their writing ‘divine word’ because they believed that Thoth, god of wisdom, had taught them how to write. Our word hieroglyphs derives from a phrase meaning ‘sacred carvings’ used by the ancient Greek visitors to Egypt to describe the symbols that they saw on tomb and temple walls. The number of hieroglyphic signs gradually grew to over 7000 in total, though not all of them were used on a regular basis. The hieroglyphs were chosen from a wide variety of observed images, for example, people, birds, trees, or buildings. Some represent the sounds of the ancient Egyptian language, but consonants only. No vowels were written out. Also, it was not an alphabetic system, since one sign could represent a combination of two or more consonants like the gaming-board hieroglyph which stands for the consonants mn. Egyptologists make the sounds pronounceable by putting an e between the consonants, so mn is read as men.
