  • A Unique Composite Hieroglyph

    Henry George FischerARTICLEJournal of the American Research…2001

    I have long been intrigued by the playful ingenuity the ancient Egyptian scribes displayed, throughout their long history, in devising hieroglyphic composites. As a rule such inventions combine an ideogram and a phonetic sign, as in Old Kingdom 3, in which a man embodies the word for carry by carrying the first sign of the verb fSi1 In the Archaic Period hieroglyphs might also be combined in the writing of names consisting of a pair of elements: …

  • Another Pithemorphic Vessel of the Sixth Dynasty

    Henry George FischerARTICLEJournal of the American Research…1993

    The earliest and most conspicuous evidence for the ancient Egyptians' sense of humor is surely to be found in the antics of apes, a favorite motif of the scenes of daily life in tomb chapels of the Old Kingdom, dating from the Fourth Dynasty onward. Considering how very few three-dimensional representations of animals are known from that period, apart from amulets, one is also struck by the fact that apes have lent their form to as many as fiftee…

  • Further Evidence for the Logic of Ancient Egyptian: Diminishing Progression

    Henry George FischerARTICLEJournal of the American Research…1973Cited by: 1

    has not considered involves both syntax and lexicon.2 A tendency to make logical extensions of meaning is best demonstrated by cd be and nds be small/' both of which may, on occasion, refer not only to size, but also to age or rank. Thus ld can mean be great in years/' be old3 and hence, as a derived noun (presumably a participle), either elder or potentate. Similarly nds means be young and, as a derived noun, lowly person, commoner.4

    Henry George FischerARTICLEJournal of the American Research…1962

    Although the fetish that served as the emblem of Upper Egyptian nome 7 is one of the most familiar motifs in Egyptian art and architecture, remarkably little is known about the local divinity it originally embodied the goddess Bat, whose human face with bovine ears and horns may derive from Mesopotamia,1 and whose Egyptian name is apparently a feminine form of the word hi soul. The Sixth Dynasty tombs of the nomarchs at Qasr es-Sayyad make no men…
