    Amazing. So then the question remains if the Egyptians had an order of hieroglyphics, and if so, whetherthe symbol 𓉻 is at the beginning or the end.

      Ah, WHOOPS, I just realised something. I was thinking of Moses, not Noah! 🤥

      And I was rolling with Moses because he’s at least a legendary or composite figure, and Ancient Egyptian is a fun subject IMO.

      Noah is just pure mythical fabrication AFAIK, so who knows what imaginary language he allegedly spoke? (altho hypothetically I’d guess it would be pre-Semitic)

      Interestingly, the Christian mythos is hardly the only one to feature a Great Flood.
