I wanted to do somethin...This is a brilliant idea!<br /><br />I wanted to do something similar a while back with the Cannibal Hymn, but never got around to doing so. I think it's a great way to engage students and enthusiasts into the language.<br /><br />One thing that is often lost when reading Egyptian is a sense of rhythm and tone, and it becomes a stale and dull language. At the Experiment and Experience conference at Swansea University last month, Richard Parkinson and actress Barbara Erwing did a vocal rendition of "dialogue of a man with his ba". It was quite haunting, since we were able to hear the expression and personality wihin the words. I think this is a way forward in Egyptian language studies.Jamie Gibbshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15168603412367448706noreply@blogger.com
