Egyptian Hieroglyphs depict Computer TechnologyLatest INVESTIGATION Released - 1st October 2010
Papyrus of Ani, plate I, column 1. 17 glyphs
2006 Translation
The sitting male's LA Disk.
The Disk:
Its flat underside shines.
The Disk:
Its protruding ledge - is a disk shaped saddle - in the side of a box.The translation is just a statement, without any critical reasoning to support it.
Here is the latest Hieroglyph Investigation - with reasoning to support it - as requested.
Australian researcher Ronald Pegg stated that
* The accepted interpretation and subsequent translation of some Egyptian glyphs, specifically the 'sun-disc' glyph RA-disc is incorrect.
* On the 1240 BCE Papyrus of Ani (Plate I) it is a depiction of a compact disk and
* associated glyphs describe its character and depict the protruding saddle of its drive tray.While acknowledging that this contradicts over 4,000 years of accepted knowledge, it was deemed of utmost importance to put Pegg's claims to the test.
2010 INVESTIGATION (extractions from full report)
When scholars copied the glyphs in order to translate them, they used their own perceptions to draw what they thought Ani was depicting.
But a comparison with the original glyphs shows that some have not been reproduced correctly.
The first shaded red circle is different.
The ledge was originally squarish.
The circle in the cradle is different.
A 'house plan' has replaced the rectangle box.
A 'loaf' has replaced the horizontal line, and
nowhere in history has the sun ever been recorded as having a hole in the middle.
INTRIM FINDINGS
Pegg's claims warrant further investigation, as the given and accepted translation is based upon substituted glyphs.
This means that the intended original meaning and context is
not yet known.
METHOD
When Sign Lists (such as those of Sir Alan Gardiner) are referenced for similar glyphs and their etymology employed, the original context is revealed and a compelling translation can be made.
