Nile River travel information
Pictured below is the Nile River with an Egyptian
felucca owner silhouetted against the sun as it sets across the
evening waters.
His felluca is sailing toward a popular site for
tourists on the Nile River - the fabulous ancient temples of Luxor,
pictured to the right.
The Nile River in Egypt is the second longest in the
world, flowing over 6,695km from its source at Uganda's Lake
Victoria, and is the life source around which your holiday will focus
if you buy travel tickets to Egypt.
Ancient Egyptian scripts
Hieratic script
The Hieratic script was invented and developed more or less at the same time as the hieroglyphic script and was used in parallel with it for everyday purposes such as keeping records and accounts and writing letters. It was used until the 26th Dynasty, though by that time, it was only used for religious texts, while the Demotic script was used for most other purposes.Notable features
- A simplified and abbreviated form of the hieroglyphic script in which the people, animals and object depicted are no longer easily recognisable
- Structurally the same as the hieroglyphic script
- Written almost exclusively from right to left in horizontal lines and mainly in ink on papyrus
- Written in a number of different styles such as "business hand" and the more elaborate "book hand"
- There were a number of regional variations, one of which, a
northern version, developed into the Demotic
script by the 25th Dynasty
