The Egyptians

History as an Area of Knowledge

Writing

Hieroglyphes

One of the most ancient and mysterious scripts in the world.

Hyrogliphs are by nature primary sources, but what they describe is secondary because what they mean has to be be translated.

The Rosetta Stone

A revolutionary discovery, because the stone had writing in both Egyptian hieroglyphs Egyptian demotic and ancient greek.

The translation of the hieroglyphs is a secondary source because the historians had to guesstimate what each hieroglyph meant, and re-construct the language based on a limited reference point, being the story on the stone.

The Rosetta Stone is a primary source because it's a relic from that specific era.

The production of this source involved the writing process by the original author of the text upon The Rosetta Stone. The validation came from the historians assessing the source, and examining if it can be a genuine source for better understanding the Egyptians. Reception of The Rosetta Stone involves the consensus of an outside party on the translation of The Rosetta Stone. Dissemination of the historical source The Rosetta Stone, involves spreading the information. For example through exhibiting it and teaching about it. And revision refers to how it has to be looked at from multiple perspectives, and assessed multiple times so that a better perception and interpretation of it can be reached.

Discovering history/tangible proof

Structures

Karnak

A temple complex made-up of a vast mix of religious sites, holding some of the finest and most incredible artistic and historic elements of Ancient Egypt.

Egyptian pyramids

The pyramids date back to 2551 B.C. and were primarily built for religious purposes (made by the hands of Egyptians)

Structural evidence CAN BE TRACKED BACK IN TIME - EXPERTS ARE CAPABLE OF UNDERSTANDING HOW OLD THE MATERIALS USED IN THE STRUCTURES ARE, THEIR CURRENT STATE AND THE CHANGE GENERATED BY THE PASSING OF TIME TO TRACK THEIR CREATION - MATCH THESE FINDINGS WITH OTHER PROOF (such as writings, drawings, etc.) TO NOTICE TRENDS IN CULTURAL BELIEFS AND BEHAVIOR

• What proof exists to confirm the truth of the event
• Why can this proof be trusted?

Sphinx

The sphinx was built in the year 2500 B.C. for the pharaoh Khafre, and is the physical representation of a mystical creature, as it carries the body of a lion, and the head of a god
