23:16 This is the tomb of Queen Nefertari, not Nefertiti.
34:00 This hieroglyph represents 'nefer', which means beautiful/perfect, hence Nefertiti and Nefertari, whose names/cartouches include this hieroglyph.

I received a cartouche from Cairo as a gift many years ago....just that one gift began my interest in Egyptian history and hieroglyphs...so interesting

I love this language and enjoy drawing them for fun..

Your work reminds me of one of the forgotten pioneers in the decipherment of hieroglyphics, Gustav Seyffarth. He, too, insisted, that Ancient Hebrew had much to do with Ancient Egyptian.

It is a bit curious what you are doing. There is little doubt about the meaning of Egyptian hieroglyphs. Like in 12:00 "the third symbol" means a negation, like no (stuff) or not (doing).

The minute he said " related to Hebrew" is when I knew this was bull crap however I stayed with is and my mind was not changed.

This is cool :) thanks for making this. The unclassified symbols connect to runic too.

[jeffreyjefferton]

is there a video, where he goes into more depth about the decoding of the hieroglyphs? beyond the basic alphabet etc...

[briang.valentine]

I think the Sun was depicted as an ellipse because circles were used for so many other things - a unique symbol for the Sun would avoid confusion with other things

[Sonofwill]

He looks like the Sphinx with the two paws as the chairs lol

This is awesome! Is there a resource where pictures of pyramid hieroglyphs are available to view & organized? Possibly a virtual tour?

[airashiitheempress]

Amazing find thank you for your continued work. Appreciate your dedication and we join you on this journey of self discovery and unearthing one of the most complex and mysterious, sought after civilization of all times

[chloerosegrant]

Just read some, I don't care about how to read it!! I just want to hear what the Egyptian have to say.

[davidallard]

The one for culture is the same too. I love how funny they were.

In the book, Linguistic ties between Egyptian and Bantu languages, Fergus Sherman demonstrates the close link between these languages. Darkwah in his book The Africans who wrote the Bible argues that the Bible personalities’ and names for god and other ideas are derived from the Akan people in Africa. European linguistics, because of their prejudices of Africa, are hellbent to study the link between Indian and European languages with one of the prominent theories being that European languages originated from a proto IndoEuropean root, as opposed to intensify their studies of an African root. Some research suggests that the Hebrew alphabet may have been derived from Egyptian hieroglyphs.

Okey, this guy have no knowledge of the ancient egyptian language, nor does he know anything about egyptian hieroglyphs or hieroglyphic writing.
The ancients called the Nile ḥˁpy ( ḥ = emphatic, or strongly expiratory, 'h' ; ˁ = a guttural sound not used in european languages, but close to a guttural, nasal 'a' or 'e' sound). Hieroglyphics: 𓎛 𓂝 𓊪 𓈗 - Hence the name of the Nile god: Hapi.
The sign showing the forepart of a lion: 𓄂 transliterates to ḥȝt ( ȝ = 'A'-sounding semi-vowel close to that of 'A' in the German word "der Adler" ). A noun meaning _forehead_ or _forepart_ (of animal) ; adjective: _beginning_ ; _foremost_ ; _the_best_of_ ; also used in combination with simple prepositions to form compound prepositions: m-ḥȝt - in front of (a person) ; r-ḥȝt - in front of, before (in relation to time) ; ẖr-ḥȝt - in front of, before (as in of higher rank or superior to).
Now, of course, I'm just scraping the surface to give some examples, but still: though it is more than reasonable to assume links between Ancient Egyptian and Hebrew as well as many other languages (actually, no assumption is needed - it's well documented facts), this so called "documentary", and I'm saying this 3:50 in, is at best one guy's fantasies. It has nothing to do with Ancient Egyptian language or Egyptian hieroglyphic writing. So if you're truely interested and want to learn about these things: skip this video - you will only be confused and misinformed and you'll learn nothing.

Really enjoyed this, very educational, keep them coming!

[Star-Hole]

Great video... but I'm sure the forepart of the lion glyph is "hat." It is evident in the cartouche of Hatshepsut. Also The mystery deepens when you bring Phoenician into the mix.

26:24 Towards the left is foundation/life/Thoth (Thought) *or* soil/water/seed, layered as is with gardening.

david can you make a book that goes into more detail about the dendera bulbs and other sites that speak of ancient technology and such, , really dig in deep to the meat of the evidence??
