Project: Egyptian Hieroglyphics

Partners:
~ James Montgomery
~ Sabrina Seignemartin
~ Brittney Ballinger
~ Julie Fergison

Poster:
~ map -- Horapollo
~ timeline
~ Anubis

Notes:

- over 700 signs and some had more than one meaning
- aesthetic considerations are almost always the only limit to writing them
- hieratic = priestly
- demotic = popular
- only true egyptians could read it
- Horapollo
- visually more or less figurative
- phonogram, logogram, ideogram
