The Phararoh Code
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Pharaoh Code is the idea that ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs conceal a hidden layer of information or meaning, that they can be read in a way that is not yet understood. The subject arises from the question why hieroglyphs were necessary, especially as there was a pre-hieroglyph writing system, known as hieratic. With hieratic it was possible to document ideas and so forth easily and much faster than the long-winded hieroglyphs. Some scholars have likened hieratic to the Japanese phonetic script hiragana and hieroglyphs to the Japanese use of kanji, Chinese characters. i.e. Why have an extremely complex writing system like kanji if you already have an ultra-simple system like the phonetic hiragana? The reason is perhaps because within hieroglyphs, as in kanji, there are deeper layers and sublayers of meaning.
The name 'Pharaoh Code' is believed to have been devised by the British writer Robert Twigger, in association with fellow writer Tahir Shah. The two men have long been known for their interest and for their research in decoding the cryptic layers of language and information believed to be concealed in ancient Egyptian scripts and folklore. Their collaboration and interest in The Pharaoh Code supposedly began when Twigger and Shah were traveling in the Egyptian desert five years ago[1]. While giving little away on their research publicly, they are believed to be close to reaching a breakthrough into the possible meaning of The Pharaoh Code. The subject is considered to be of great importance and current interest and the ancient Egyptology world is divided by it.
