Ancient Egyptian scribes were special 😂

Disclaimer: the coptic passage in the meme is by no means “real”. I literally wrote the entire sentence on my own for the comedic purposes. 😂

It says “Anubis needs my soul, because Apophis wants to eat me so he feeds the darkness within him.”

How do you think what logical true - the alphabet with "Б" ( like Inglish B), or without it. In logical reason with "Б" was at first, then it was lost. But it is so incredibly!

In Greek "y" it's like Inglish G. In Slavs language all pronounced like A, B, V, G, D... and ets.

Unfortunately I don't really understand your question. But according to my understanding, you're trying to ask whether the Б letter existed in the Coptic alphabet or not. The answer is no, because the equivalent to this letter is the Coptic letter Ⲃ which sounded in the first centuries as a fricative /β/ or /b/ in the end of words , and then as a /w/ in late Coptic as a result of Arabic influence , and finally as /v/ in the ecclesiastical pronunciation after the Church's pronunciation reform in 1858.

As for the letter y, its equivalent is the Coptic letter ⲩ which sounded like /w/ when followed by an ⲁ or ⲉ, then later as /v/ in ecclesiastical Coptic and sounded like the German ü in Greek words considering the pronunciation of the Greek language during that time.

Being Egyptian = Knowing more about Egyptian history than non-Egyptians?

The title might be a bit provocative for some people, but unfortunately this is a common approach taken by a lot of Egyptians when discussing anything with a non-Egyptian on anything Egypt-related such as ancient history, language, culture etc..

There is probably no amount of words that can be said to express how much I disagree with this approach. Because anyone who is well-read about fields like Egyptology would easily know that any FACTUAL information on ancient Egypt started to be provided right after the French conquest of Egypt in 1798.

Before that, it was all pseudo-history and imaginary knowledge that were wrongly retrieved through folklore or religious stories. It was only after the decipherment of the Rosetta stone by Jean-François Champollion and Thomas Young, the world started knowing actual history without any myths or lies.

A lot of Egyptians are in denial of the fact that our indigenous culture was lost after a series of historical events that replaced our culture and language with a new and foreign one. In that case, the only way to actually revive this culture is through looking at the issue realistically and acknowledging the problem as it is.

I'd like say something crucial for those delusional Egyptians. Instead of having this unjustified idea of you occupying the intellectual high ground on Egyptian matters just because you are Egyptian, I'd suggest taking a more factual approach and take the knowledge you are looking for from reliable and historically accurate sources, whether Egyptian or non-Egyptian sources.

I am not Egyptian.

I am not Arab.

I am not a believer or disbeliever.

I am a product of my circumstances.

The good and bad ones.

The easy and hard ones.

I am simply fragile and mortal.

Whose existence never mattered.

Whose existence shall never hold a cosmic purpose within it.

I am just a semi-conscious piece of flesh, temporarily observing the world around me, till I get back to the realm of nothingness one day.

I am human.

Happy 25th of Jan; day of a failed revolution

Once upon a time

The Egyptian “Revolution” failed because it wanted to change a government, not the people themselves.

End of story.

It’s important to know that there are key differences in the pronunciation of these 3 letters between Bohairic and Sahidic.

In Bohairic, the mentioned letters are followed by an aspiration, just like the English word ”Toy”.

In Sahidic, they are followed by a separate H, just like the th sequence found in “Fast horse”.

Delusions of many Egyptian nationalists

I find it strange seeing a lot of Egyptian nationalists denying the fact that modern day Egyptians are heavily influenced by Arab culture through out the centuries, claiming things like Egyptians maintaining a huge portion of their indigenous Coptic culture(if not all of it). The first step of solving an issue is actually acknowledging it, which isn't the case for most nationalists due to their continuous denial of the issues in Egyptian society. Now we have modern day Egyptians, who name their kids Arab names, speak Arabic, not speak a word of Coptic, and with a fundamentally Islamic nature. So the question is; Where is the Egyptian culture in all of this? The oxford definition of culture is "the customs and beliefs, art, way of life, and social organization of a particular country or group." According to this very definition, there is vaguely any difference between modern-day Egyptians and their Arab neighbors in the Arabian peninsula. In fact, millions of Egyptians claim lineage to Arab tribes and to the Islamic prophet Muhammad through certificates made by communities here. Yes, those certificates are mostly inaccurate and do not prove anything, but still, the idea of claiming this makes it safe to say that most Egyptians for the most part identify as Arab culturally and ethnically. Sure, one can say that there are remnants of the old culture through some Coptic loanwords, using an Arabized version of the Coptic calendar and some holidays, but those tiny remnants are not an indication of a cultural continuity by any means. Genetically speaking, modern day Egyptians are descended from the ancients, but unfortunately this does not really play a major role in shaping one's identity, at least in the case of most Egyptians nowadays.

What nationalists should be doing now is Egyptianize Egypt by teaching people about their history, promoting the Coptic language by learning it and try reviving it like how individuals like Claudius Labib tried to. Some of them do that undoubtedly and I respect them immensely, but for the ones who are still in denial of the cultural issues surrounding Egyptian society, I hope they wake up one day to the ugly reality and start doing more.
