Ancient Egyptian language

The Ancient Egyptian language is so very different from English. Many of their words contain no vowels to our ear.

Such as ptr which means "what?"

They have no words for "the" or "a"

It also uses three numbers in grammer, contrasting singular, dual, and plural forms.

So for example in english when i describe myself i say i have one hand.
In egyptian i would say i have hand1.
And in english i would say i had two hands.
But in egyptian i would say I had hand2.

There are only a few words from ancient egyptian that has survived into the english language such as:

hbny=ebony
bnw=phoenix
pr-3=Pharaoh

There are known knowns. These are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don't know we don't know. -- Donald Rumsfeld
