    I'm thinking of starting middle Egyptian grammar at university soon, how difficult would you say it is?

      Thanks for the comment. I would definitely recommend studying Egyptian but as for the question whether it is difficult or not, I guess it depends on what languages one is already familiar with. No doubt, it is very different from English, Spanish, French and other Modern Western languages one might study at the high school level in America, but if one is familiar with Hebrew, Arabic, Akkadian etc. then Egyptian is relatively easy to pick up because in many ways its grammar is actually simpler than Akkadian's due to having no case forms etc. In addition, I'd consider it much easier than Sumerian because Sumerian is from a language isolate with no other relatives so its way of doing things is just totally different from what one might be used to from Modern Western languages.

      @@chadahaagphilosophychannel7329 and thank you for the reply, I'll definitely give it some more thought and take a look at a book on it. I have the opportunity to take it as a module with the help of a lecturer I wonder how much that will help. While at university I discovered primitivist/anti-tech philosophy which has been a roller coaster. Further from that being a critique of civilisation itself, so I definitely started looking at Egypt in a different way. Out of interest how did you come to your philosophy?
