Hey guys! I made a new installment of #anforscorner! This time, instead of a regular comic I decided to turn it into a bit of an activity, and teach you a bit of basic ancient egyptian grammar, so you can write your own name in hieroglyphs!

#comic #art #furry #avian #anthro #history #hieroglyphs

"Anfor's Corner - Your Name in hieroglyphs"
An anthro magpie with a book on his hand talks about egyptian hieroglyphs, showcasing some examples.

"Egyptian script was a complex language that evolved over its 36 centuries of use. It would be impossible to learn all of its grammar in one sitting, but it might be fun to test its most basic grammar rules by trying to transliterate your own name!"

"First we need to know the symbols closer to the letters that we use in our modern alphabet. These are phonograms, symbols that represent sounds."

"The letters with * are approximations to the sound. Usually written egyptian didn’t include vowels, so a name like “Rachel” would be written as “RCHL”"

"The next thing we need is a determinative. A symbol at the end of the name that will tell us what the person or thing with that name is, or a quality about it. Here you have a few common examples."

"And now we have everything we need to write our name! Aesthetics were very important with hieroglyphs, so put low, broad symbols underneath each other, so it looks neat. This is only the tip of the egyptian script iceberg, but give it a try and have fun with it!"

Spooky!!

Two velociraptors who are on their way to go trick or treating get spooked by each others costumes. They're dressed up as skeletons.
Letters spell out "VelocirAAAAAAptor".
