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!
Kendra,
ReplyDeleteI'm really looking forward to reading your blog as the semester unfolds. There are few artifacts from the ancient world more mysterious and captivating than hieroglyphics. Who knows? You may be able to teach yourself to read and write in hieroglyphics. You can be our resident expert on the subject. Good luck!
