MEROITIC
INSCRIPTIONS
&
HIEROGLYPHS
AN
INTRODUCTION
TO
KASHITE
LANGUAGES
The inscriptions below are Kushite Hieroglyphs. They
figure prominently on Stelaes
, Relief Drawings in Pyramids
, Chapels,
Temples and Tombs
in Napata,
Meroe, Kawa
, Gebel Barkal
, Akasha and
many other other areas in the Sudan
. Some of these character/symbols have the same meanings as in the
Hieroglyphs above.
To this day many Egyptologists,
historians and linguists still claim that they have not yet been able to decipher
the
MEROITIC INSCRIPTIONS
. A stunning example of this writing was found in what has been described
as a Birth House in
Karanog
, 60 Km south of
Aswan
, Upper Nubia.
However apart from evidence of secret research conducted
by some scientists, in this region of Northern Sudan, indigenous peoples (
who are today called
NUBIANS ) still speak the
NUBIC language. Though this lingua was eventually
influenced by SABÆN
, AMHARIC
, COPTIC
and ARABIC
, many words from Meroitic
have survived.
Even words in modern English have been influenced. Take
for instance the word QUEEN
, it is a corrupt version of the word Quren
which is rooted in the MEROITIC word
KANDAKE ( Warrior Queen Mother ) from the
letters KDK.
The Greeks translate this as CANDACE
.
