in your opinion,why do the historians know more about egypt civilization than other civilizations?
Answers
Answer:
There are various approaches to how to study Egypt, and it’s important that you understand these different approaches, because there are biases among them. The first is what we call the philological approach. Now philological comes from two Greek words: philo, which is love, and logos, which is words. It’s the love of words. Philologists are the language people; these are the translators. These are the guys who take a really tough text and can translate it. Egyptologists can translate hieroglyphs moderately well, but when you get a really tough text, we go to the philologists. And there is an approach to the history Egypt that’s philological, through the language.
Sir Alan Gardiner, a great scholar of the 1930s, 1940s, was a philologist. His specialty was language, hieroglyphs. He wrote a history of Egypt. A solid history, lots of good stuff in it, but it’s mainly through language. Here is an example of how you figure out the history of Egypt through language. Take one pharaoh’s name, the pharaoh Montuhotep, made up of two Egyptian words. Montu, who is a war god. And hotep means “to be pleased.” This is why you get lots of pharaohs whose names are things like Amenhotep, right, Montuhotep, so it means, “Montu the war god is pleased.” Now as Sir Alan Gardiner points out, that tells you something about the times. Why name a kid Montuhotep? You know? It means there is war and you want to be in favor with the war god. So just from the name we can get an idea of the political times. So there is a philological approach mainly through texts and analyzing language of trying to figure out history, and it’s a legitimate approach.
