In this video:
Hieroglyphics were elaborate, elegant symbols used prolifically in Ancient Egypt. The symbols decorated temples and tombs of pharaohs. However, being quite ornate, other scripts were usually used in day-to-day life, such as demotic, a precursor to Coptic, which was used in Egypt until the 1000s. These other scripts were sort of like different hieroglyphic fonts-your classic Times New Roman to Jokerman or Vivaldi.

The correct word is “hieroglyphs “ not “hieroglyphics.” A call to any university with a department of Egyptology can confirm this.

@yvonne530 Жыл бұрын

There is only a way to decipher the hieroglyphs. You need two instruments: (1) the symbolic algorithm, found by Albanian Genie Mr. Petro Zheji and, (2) the Albanian Language. You just need to read the Book of Petro Zheji: "The mesianic role of the Albanian Language". Albanian is really the Cosmic Language, close to the symbols. She is the mother of all languages. Furthermore you have to read the Books: "Thoth spoke Albanian" by Giuseppe Catapano and "The Enigma" of Robert D'Angely. The old Sanskrit Language was in fact the Albanian Language. Sanskrit and Latin are dead languages, from the old languages is alive only the Albanian Language, it has strong roots. The Greek Language is a very new language, has no roots, it can be easy deciphered through Albanian Language too.

The Ieroglifika have never been translated don't let them lie to you. Koptis and Dimotika script are variations of the Greek alphabet and their language is Greek. The picture symbols do not represent the phonetic sounds of letters this is obvious by that the other texts letters outnumber the glyph picture symbols 20-1. At 3:30 he mentions that the circle with the dot in the middle is well know to have the 's' sound then goes on to say that the circle with a dot stands for 'ro' well is it pronounced as 'ro' or 's', when something is made up you will hear a lot of double talk. Ieroglifika was used by royals it was their code, their primary form of communication was the Greek alphabet as that the ancient Egyptians were Greek.
