Hieroglyphs for Software Engineers
I've been gradually learning how to read Egyptian hieroglyphs this year, and it's really been quite an extraordinary experience. Instead of doing a translation and finding an accounting ledger or grocery list— it's been like, wow, I think that's the most beautiful thing I've ever read in my life.
Hieroglyphs are a beautiful, aspiring, and sacred language centered in Ma'at. As you learn to read, you really get to know what Ma'at means. In this newsletter, I will be sharing about my journey with translating temple walls in QV66, and teaching a bit on how to read hieroglyphs using software as a metaphor to explain.
