I suppose I should begin by introducing myself. My name is Kendra and I'm a high school senior. This blog is an assignment for my Classical World class--I have been tasked with exploring an area of ancient history that interests me. Well, it just so happens that I am CRAZY about ancient Egypt. I have decided to focus on hieroglyphics: their artistry and linguistics. Over the coming months, I hope to analyze inscriptions on popular pieces of Egyptian art and share with you all the secrets of this mysterious language. While I like to think I am already quite knowledgeable about ancient Egypt, my ability to fluently read hieroglyphics is not too extensive... but hopefully through my studies I will improve! In December, I will be taking a trip to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City to view their fantastic Egyptian exhibit. I can't wait!
Stay tuned!
