ankh wedja seneb
Life, prosperity, health
in hieroglyphs

The Ancient Egyptian phrase ankh, wedja, seneb "life, prosperity, health" is a formula often suffixed to the names of ancient Egyptian kings–(the Pharaohs). It is frequently abbreviated in Egyptian–A.U.S. or a.u.s. with just three hieroglyphs (or with their equivalent forms in Demotic and Hieratic), making it possibly one of the oldest acronyms used in written language, although strictly speaking the first word ankh is not truly abbreviated.

English translations of Egyptian often use the abbreviation "L.P.H." for "Life, Prosperity, Health."


ankh wedja seneb represents the following Egyptian words-(and their concepts):

  1. Ankh: "Life"
  2. wedja: "to be whole/–intact"/'Endurance' (= "Prosperity")
  3. seneb: "Health"

Life:

"Ankh", "to live," "life,"[1] was associated with the gods of Egypt, and Egyptian kings–(pharaohs) aspired to achieve their responsibilities of governing and protecting life in Egypt.

Wedja
"Prosperity"
in hieroglyphs

Prosperity:

Wedja (written "utcha" in 19th century transcriptions) literally means "to be whole; to be intact,"[2] but also has the connotation of "prosperity" and "well-being."[3]
Dominion is a second term that is implied with prosperity. The raising of the Djed pillar was symbolic of the pharaoh creating, and maintaining his kingdom. It is the reason some pharaohs campaigned beyond the Egyptian border, leaving a legacy for the next pharaohs to deal with.

Health
in hieroglyphs

Health:

Seneb has many translations: "to be well," "to be healthy," and "to have 'soundness' ": "to be sound."[4] Another word, also seneb has the determinative of a wall and means "to build," but with the connotation of "to build (soundly)."[5]

Hi-(starting Aug 2005)

[edit]

It is traditional to put a "Welcome to Wikipedia" message here. I won't do that because you have already been here at least three weeks! But welcome anyway.

If you are feeling a little confused at the moment, I have very little sympathy for you: you delayed so long in creating an account and took absolutely no part in the Votes for Deletion process. Now you have an account you can see that it is no big deal is it?

The good news is that nothing of your work has been lost. You will find links to it at the start of this list.

Go ahead, find the articles, do a few edits just to assure yourself that they all right, then stop. You said if you accept the Return of some Pages. The blunt answer is: we do not accept the return of any of your pages. The kindly answer is: Great work, Michael, but please do it elsewhere.

You must now turn your mind to finding a new home for your work. As I said in the talk page, you will probably be best creating your own site. If you go to Wikibooks or Wikisource you will run into the same sort of problems as here - they are colaborative projects so other people will edit your stuff or at least express opinions about it!

Please keep in touch. You can always leave messages for me at User talk:RHaworth and since Tony Sidaway did the job of moving your stuff, he should be willing to talk to you via User talk:Tony Sidaway.

RHaworth 19:40:44, 2005-08-28 (UTC)


Hello, RHaworth. Well, I have been busy at work, so this is my first chance to get back to what i was doing with Wikipedia. Since i Have hard copies of most of what I was working on, I must explain some things.

  • ----First I think the El Amarna letters will go down in history as with other clay tablet, or lignuistic "Sources", as with other major linguistic, // slash antrhropological sources. With the ADVENT of the Internet, these letters are "Destined" to become available to anyone, For so long they have been kept hidden, and I mean that as Point of Fact, .....just like the Dead Sea scrolls, were kept hidden.
  • --- My efforts were partially finalized before I started, but I was able, Or Had To polish some, or come to conclusions.
  • ----I have more conclusions now, say about EA 245, and the story of "The Plight of Yasdata". He may be now "Osiris Yasdata", the body of Dead Souls,.... I have looked at these really clear cuneif. characters, and am still Not Sure, of some things. Shepard is the other word that may apply here. "Shepard,Journeying, Yasdata". I KNOW, that few have really figured it out completely. What is interesting. ... the same "cuneiform" is used two lines later, ... so i think shepard is what applies.
  • ---what is so "kool", is that there are interesting religious implications in these letters. the Amaran Letters, are Pre-Biblical, and they are not "translated" ! ! ! as the bible is. so, as i predict, they will eventually be studied by many, many more people. My talents, are more Earth Sciences, and Paleontology, Puzzles, but also in pictures, like the anthropological Hand-created items. Those are the puzzles i am refferring to. (The picture in a book, LIKE of Mr king Gudea ?)
  • ----I think the future of wikipedia, is endless, ....in summary, ... so I look forward to doing more
  • ---Thanks for being patient. The focus of the last weeks, was the stuff/the body of stuff I did, as well as the presentation available on the Display screen. I was focussed on the accuracy of my work, and 2nd its look in front of me.
  • ----the transliteration Topic is where it is at. When a Human has the transliteration in front of him/her, they than can figure what it means. The Paragraphic Layouts i did, helped me immensely. It was truely Crossword puzzle stuff, trying to fill in words, and sometimes thoughts, in sentences, or parts of sentences. .... The best example of that is in EA 28, taling about the "problem" of the messengers going and returning to eqypt. the scribe uses the word for "hurdle", to address [the "mountain" concerning the problem about the messengers ]... i.e, the mountain, the hurdle. there are such exquistite English words that drop into place, once the story in front of one is Understood.
  • So, I reread, and just proof, read, I look forward to again talking with, you, and Tony,. Thanks again, Michael McAnnis, in YumaAZ (the desert ! )



Michael, thanks for getting back in touch with us. Our main concern now is that if you have content in the articles currently on Wikipedia, you *must* take the opportunity to download them within the next seven days. We really shall delete them, but we're granting a stay of execution out of consideration for the appreciable amount of work that they must represent. The articles are where RHaworth said they would be, so if there is any content you need please download it immediately. I'll let it hang around for a week, and after that time it'll be gone from Wikipedia. --Tony SidawayTalk 03:51, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
Please don't edit those articles. The clock is ticking. They will be completely removed by 8th September. --Tony SidawayTalk 21:59, 3 September 2005 (UTC)


RHaworth , this is Michael McAnnis, here ...Please look at a year 2000 calendar. It was NOT a leap year. 1600 was not, and 2400 will not be a LEAP YEAR. I first read this stupid formaula para ( 2 ) months ago and could hardly get thru the first sentence. I made corrections back then on " 1899" . I read how others had also found the formula so confusing. Any way it is correct at the moment until somebody goes and revises it again. It is not worded trerrilbly well. I was just trying to make it factual. Please check a calendar, etc. Monday noon, Labor day....MMcAnnis,YumaAZ

I was working on the Rosetta Stone, and the Grandfather's the Decree of Canopus, which implemented Leap year, 238 B.C.E. The book I was given at the Reference desk by a Librarian, had 1 and a half pages on Leap year. It was implemented by Caesar in 55 B.C.E. in 1592 ( ? ) the reorganezed calendar was done. 10 days came off the calendar. then 1600 was skipped, Only the second 400 year skip occurred in 2000; the next 400 year skip is on Feb 28, 2400, certainly a long way aways....MMcAnnis

Rosetta Stone etc.

[edit]

Thanks for your comment on the Rosetta Stone. In future, please don't remove other comments from people's talk pages when adding your own. Thanks. It really is a nice picture... there are quite a lot of talented people in the project that contribute. I agree, it would be nice to have more pictures of stuff in the British Museum. The best way to get some is to take some yourself. If you don't get out there too often (quite reasonable since you appear to live in Arizona, not the UK) then you could try asking someone to get what you're looking for. You could always try leaving a note on the image's talk page, contacting the uploader, or maybe having a look around Wikipedia:UK Wikipedians' notice board to see whether there are any willing people around.

P.S. Regarding Leap year, see 2000, 1900, and all of the other years. A year is a leap year if it is divisible by 4, unless it is divisible by 100 but not 400. So, 2000 was a leap year, and 1900, 1800, 1700 aren't. Cheers, JYolkowski // talk 20:56, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

I just read up on the Facts of leap year..... with a smug shrug, i have to admit I was sleeping all day on Leap Year Day 2000, and/or I was translating. Oh well, ( I never did understand how the one day skip every 400 years equalled the ten days taken off. I guess I screwed up the formula !). MMcAnnis,YumaAZ.... It was obviously 3 days per 400 years !

Good. We have got that 'sorted'! The article Gregorian calendar says it was 1582 only for the Popish heartland of Europe. Some countries did not change until the 20th century. There is a wonderful painting/engraving by William Hogarth (which, strangely, I cannot find on the web) in which someone is waving a placard saying give us back our eleven days. -- RHaworth 17:24:44, 2005-09-06 (UTC)


After: Amarna letters Rosetta Stone THE Epic, My creations

[edit]

RHaworth, and others, Thanks for your Patience. My practice of Amarna letters was Really important. Just today, I Now see how these, User, Talk pages work. I just looked at the developer of the LMLK seal page, Mr "Funhistory" 's Talk page, and with the help of many people, I now know how to make and add to " Category: " pages.

So, I am assessing directions to go in. Today I completed (For Now) the "Impression seal" group. I finally opened a Masterful type Book" from Germany(Konemann Publ.) see ref at Scaraboid seal, (subgroup of Impression seal ), 2 editors, and 35 Authors. Quite the pics, etc.

Note on Kushite phar. Piankh 1074-1070 BC

[edit]

I asked at the Talk:Lunar eclipse, page, Lunar eclipse if someone could check on the Stela of Piankhi for the lunar eclipse(asked about season of year) mentioned in his Stela Autobiography, of about 40 pages, (Long), It is in the 1907 work by James Henry Breasted who in the 5-Volume( Ancient Records of Egypt ) work redid all the Egyptian translations (How long did that take him?). Any now, thanks fellow citizens (grk, demotoles), guys and gals. (Work, and other business.) Michael McAnnis,YumaAZ

Mummy

[edit]

Hi, you changed the code on Mummyy but then left a stray character at the end of the article. I just erased all of that thinking it was a mistake of garbled code everywhere, but then I see that the code for the Egyptian word for mummy got changed in the process. I'd like you to relook at that and make it the way it's supposed to be. Thanks. DreamGuy 22:08, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

3D images

[edit]

Hi, I'm in Ventura County California. I really like posting museum objects in this new "compatible form" of 3D. It really makes eveything of this type look more realistic, while not ruining the effect for those lacking the simple glasses. There are always a few million glasses out there at all times, especially kids are likely to have saved them from "Spy Kids 3D'. I would appreciate if this format were to be given a chance as it draws kids into interest in archeology and museums. 3dnatureguy 21:57, 22 January 2006 (UTC) Originally misposted to user:Mmcannis.

Natural order (non-moral nature philosophy)

[edit]

The societal, and scientific term Natural order, with a common extension implied of: the Natural order of the Universe, is contrasted against the moral and natural law term, mostly based on 'moral, or social laws' of natural order (philosophy). This use of the term natural order (non-moral nature philosophy) does not imply morality, nor does it imply the knowledge of causation as to how the order has been achieved.

Philosophy vs Ethics

[edit]

As opposed to an 'orderly' universe, with the antithetical term of chaos, the use of the term natural order implies that events and relationships of the Universe, and specifically the locality of Earth are in stasis, or that they often move in directions that stay at stases for periods of time-(Eguilibrium (disambiguation)). But the events of nature, and specifically, animals and plants is extended by the term natural order to include the relationships with the non-animate world, namely the geophysical world, the forces of nature as applied to longer term chronology events, but not just longer than single human lifetimes, but millenniums and often, thousands of millenniums-(a million years).

Natural order (philosophy) implies that humans have society positions, or ideas that must be chosen, or defended. A "natural order of things" lets individuals in a society avoid debate about causative reasons, and instead make statements about how the world is viewed, or how things are existing.

And "natural order (philosophy)" also implies that we as humans have to be a participant in explaining the 'natural order'. By using a phrase like the Natural Order of the Things, the human individual can act as an outside observer, and conclude that a 'path', or multiple 'pathways', like a vector can arrive at an end point, i.e. the stasis point that we are located at, in time, and in locality-(space), but we observe the resultant stasis and equilibrium point, and then try to understand, its past, and its possible, or even probable future.
