          An ancient language form that originated in the North African area of our most ancient civilizations has been studied by Nyland (2001).  He found that many words used to describe names of places and things in the area of Egypt seem to be closely related to the ancient language, which is being called Saharan, but more appropriately might be Igbo West African, which predated it.   It appears that the Basque Language is a close relative of the Saharan.  Following is a discussion of this relationship:

 

 

EGYPTIAN GODS

 

Amun
amu - un.
amultsu - unibertsalki
affectionate - universally
"Universally affectionate".
This has to be a Goddess.

 

Aten
ate - en.
aterpe - ene
refuge - my
"My refuge".

 

Ra. There are at least four possible origins for Ra.  #1 is progably right.


aRa meaning pure (aratz)
eRa meaning devotion (
eraspen)
irRa  meaning radiating (
irradiatu)
oRa meaning for ever (
orain)

Re also has a few possible derivations, the most likely being:
arRe meaning Redeemer (
arrerosle)

MAGICAL NAMES

 

          It was surprising to learn that to decode many of these very old names was straightforward, although time-consuming. The names were all agglutinated according to the VCV formula, but the words of the spoken language were not formulaically constructed. To agglutinate these names, the Egyptian priests used only those words of the Neolithic Saharan language, which started with vowel-consonant-vowel (VCV). The ancient Saharan Language may have been the language in popular use during the first two dynasties and after that was probably maintained as a liturgical or secret language. It still is spoken in close to its original condition as Basque in Europe. Aulestia's Basque Dictionary (University of Nevada Press) was used for both decoding and translating. In the name-assembly process the priests stuck religiously to the VCV vowel-interlocking formula. In general, every consonant represents one word.

 

          The same formulaic name-encoding system was used in unaltered form throughout Egyptian history. Names such as Rosetta, Pharaoh, Nile and Egypt may be relatively recent name creations, but they still yield their hidden meanings in the same manner the very earliest Pharaohs' names. It appears that all personal names have two meanings, the publicly known one and the secret one, which meanings may not be the same or even closely so. The VCV system is designed to decode the secret meaning of the name, which may or may not have been divulged to the bearer.

 

Rosetta
.ro - ose - et. - .ta
ero - ose - ete - eta
erotegi - ozen - etengabeko - -eta
insane asylum - penetrating (voice/cry) - incessant - overpowering
"The incessant penetrating (screams) from the insane asylum are overpowering."

 

          The scribes creating the inscriptions gave themselves appropriate names such as:


         
Nesmeterakhem, son of Nesmeterpanakhet at the time of Hadrian, AD 117-38 (Parkinson p.178)

 

.ne - es. - .me - ete - era - ak. - .he - em.
ene - esa - ame - ete - era - ako - ohe - ema
ene - ezangarri - ameskile - etengabeko - erran - akordiozko - ohetoki - emai
 symbols - fanciful - continuous - saying/epigram - traditional - burial chambre - gift
"fanciful symbols (form) a continuous epigram,
a gift for the traditional burial chambre."

 

          His father, Nesmeterpanakhet, used the same introductory sentence, then adds:

 

.pa - ana - ak. - .he - et.
apa - ana - ako - ohe - ete
apaindu - anaia - akordiozko - ohetoki - etengabetasun
to make up - religious brother -  traditional - burial chambre - in perpetuity
"fancyful symbols (form) a continuous epigram,
made up for the religious brother's traditional burial chambre in perpetuity."

 

 

THE ROSETTA STONE


          In contrast to the VCV method used to agglutinate names, the Egyptians' writings on stone, papyrus etc. made use of all words in the ancient vocabulary, as shown here in a sentence borrowed from the Rosetta stone. Parkinson in his book "Cracking Codes, the Rosetta Stone and Decipherment" (p. 54) supplies us with the pronounciation of the transliteration of the last sentence on the Rosetta Stone. Nyland shows the corresponding Basque words and his translation underneath (English 'sh' = Basque 'x'):

 

Rosetta:   her                    ahay                neti                        aat           rudj               em              sech      
Basque: 
herrikatu          ahaide           netik                      atx          irudipetu      eman         sekretu  
English:  
proclamation - our people - from this date on - stone - to symbolize - the above - secret script


Translation: "Proclamation to our people.  From this date on the stone will symbolize the above in the secret script

ni    medu                     netcher           sech              ni     shay                  sekhay       ni      hau-nebu
? -  eme'edukitsu         txera              sekretu          ?  -   xeheki               asekhai    ?   hau - uneburu
? -  female'powerful -  intelligent  -  secret script - ? -   in great detail - abundant - ? -

 

this - important place of the Goddess in intelligent secret writing in great and abundant detail in this important place."

 

          This translation differs considerably from the translation shown by Parkinson in his book which reads:


"Upon a stela of hard stone in hieroglyphic writing, in demotic writing, and in the script of the Aegians".

 

 

THE TITLE "PHARAOH"?


          The title "pharaoh", more accurately spelled "faraoh", is no Egyptian invention because it is appropriate for males only:

 

.fa - ara - a.o - oh.
afa - ara - aho - oha
afa - aragikeria - ahokatu - ohaide
pleasing - fornication - to engage in - concubine
"Engaged in pleasing fornication (with a) concubine".

 

          Otto Muck in "Cheops et la Grande Pyramide" (1978) p.114, claims that the Shepherd Philitis brought the title to Egypt from the north, witness Stonehenge in England. Diop calls this an insipid notion. Pharaoh is an agglutinated title, likely of Latin origin; neither the Egyptians nor Greeks pronounced the 'ph' as 'f'.

 

Nile
.ni - ile
uni - ile
unibertsal - ilezkor
universal - immortal
"Universal and immortal".

 

Pyramid
.pi - ira - ami - id.
epi - ira - ami - ide
epika - iragartzapen - amildu - ideadura
epic - to prophesy - destruction - ideology
"The epic prophesied the destruction of our ideology".


That's why they built for eternity.

Egypt
egi - ip. - .t.
egi - ipu - uto
egin - ipuin - utopia
to create - legend - utopia
"They created the legend of utopia".

 

Dynasty
.dina - asti
adina - astiz
so many - bright future
"So many bright futures".

 

 

FIRST DYNASTY. (c.3100-2890 B.C.)


           (The dates of the dynasties are taken from "Who were the Pharaohs?" by Stephen Quirke, Dover Publications, 1990.). A few of the following names can hardly be called names because they sound like warnings to scare off tomb robbers. Likely a case of mistaken identity).

 

Menes, (probably his funeral name).

Uadji
u.a - ad. - .ji
uha - adi - iji
uhaldu - adi - ijito
to fasten down - watch out - Gypsy
"Fasten (everything) down; watch out for the Gypsies".


This must be a warning for the people doing the burial.

 

Udimu, this name only makes sense if written
Udi ' mu:
udi  '  amu
     udikan  '  amure egon
get out  '  to be distrustful
"Get out! I don't trust you."


This is no name but a warning to scare off tomb robbers. 

 

Hemaka (Udimu's chancellor).
.he - ema - aka
hegaztiazti - emankizun - akatsbako
diviner/augur - performance - perfect
"Diviner of perfect performance."

.se - em. - .ti
ase - ema - ati
asete - eman - atxikidura

"In this time of abundance we celebrate unity".

ohoratu - otseinketa - epetu - ezezagun - ekin - ihesezin  '   murgilarazi - uhin
to honor - service -  set time limit - unknown - to persevere - inevitable  '   to drown - waves
"We honor his service for the set time period. He persevered
into the unknown and inevitably drowned in the waves."

 

          The "set time period" for a king who had participated in the "Sacred Marriage" was usually seven and a half years from May 1 until his death on November 1. He reigned as a semi-god, the bridge between the people and the deity, and when his time was up, he was sacrificed by drowning in the waves, possibly in one of the Cataracts. This was also practiced in Scotland in the Whirlpool of Corrivreckan, until Christianity arrived. From his name, we now know that this was also done in early Egypt during the first two dynasties.

 

Ra-neb
.Ra '  .ne - eb.
aRa '  ene - ebe
aRatz '  -enetik - ebertaren
Pure? '   from that time on - patriarchy
"From that time on (there was) patriarchy".

 

Neteren, (a funeral name?)
.ne - ete - ere - en.
one - ete - ere - -ena
onegite - etengabeki - errege - -ena

.ne - ete - er. - .mu
one - ete - era - amu
onegite - etengabeki - eraspen - amultsutasun
doing good - constantly - devotion - tenderness
"Constantly doing good with devotion and tenderness".

 

          Sekhemib. The name tells us that this was a queen and not a king as is stated. Archaeologists have long wondered why she abandoned her allegiance to the god Horus and switched to Set. Her name tells us why. The name should be spelled:

 

Sekhem - ib because the vowel-interlocking is interrupted.
.se - ek. - .he - em. '  ib.
ese - eki - ihe - ema  '  ibi


esetsi - ekimendu - ihesari eman - emarrapaketa  '   ibili
to attack - to take the initiative - to escape - abduction of a woman - to go along
"She was attacked and took the initiative to escape
by going along with her abductors".

 

Perabsen, same person as Sekhem-ib.
.pe - era ab. - .se - en.
pe - era - aba - ase - ena
petralkeria - erasan - abade - aserrekor - -ena

.se - en. - .di - .ji
ase - ena - adi - iji
azeri - -ena - adi - ijito

"Gypsies are 'extremely' shrewd, watch out".


This is no name. It is another warning for the workers building the tomb.

 

Neterka
.ne - ete - er. - .ka
one - ete - era - aka
onegite - etengabeki - eraspen - akatsbako
doing good - constantly - devotion - perfect
"Constantly doing good with perfect devotion".

Kha - sekhe'mui
.k. - .ha  '  .se - ek. - .he  '  mu - u.i
ako - oho  '  ase - eki - ihe  '  mu - uhi
akorduan euki - oharti  '  asezin - ekin - ihesezin  '   murgilarazi - uhin
to remember - thoughtful  '  craving - to persevere - inevitable  '   to drown - wave
"Remember his thoughtful craving to persevere in
the inevitable and be drowned in the waves."


Another courageous Tammuz went honorably to his sacrificial death.

 

 

THIRD DYNASTY (c.2686-2613 B.C.)

 

Djoser, builder of the step pyramid.
.d. - .jo - ose - er.
ida - ajo - ose - era
idazlan - ajola - ozen - erran
writing - interest - penetrating voice - to say/to speak
"He speakes his interest in writing in a penetrating voice".

ima ' oho - ote - epa
imajina ' ohoratu - otseinketa - epaile
statue '  to honor - service - judge
"This statue honors his service as a judge".

.k. - .ha - aba
aka - aha - aba
akabu - ahalguzti - abade
high/superior - almighty - priest
"High priest of the Almighty".

 

 

FOURTH DYNASTY (c.2613-2494 B.C.)

 

Seneferu
.se - ene - ebe - eru
ese - ene - ebe - eru

ada - aje - ede - ebe - ere
-ada - ajene - ederrakhartu - eberu - eremu
noise of the action - lament - to be defeated - Hebrews - desert
"The Hebrews lamented loudly when they were defeated in the desert".


It appears that the Hebrews were unsuccessful in their long persisting efforts
to conquer Egypt and then turned to Canaan.

 

Nebka
.ne - eb. - .ka
one - ebe - eka
onera hartu - ebertarren - ekarri
to accept - patriarchy - to bring
"Accept the patriarchy I bring".

 

 

FIFTH DYNASTY (c.2494-2345 B.C.)

 

THE KHU'FU FAMILY

 

Snofru, father of Khu'fu
builder of the Bent Pyramid
.s. - .no - ob. - .ru
aso - ono - obi - iru
-azo - onon - obi - irudi
to bring about/create - wonderful - tomb - symbol
"He created his wonderful tomb as a symbol."

 

Hetepheres, mother of Khu'fu.
.he - ete - ep. - .he - ere - es.
ihe - ete - epo - ohe - ere - esa
ihezin - etenkor - epotu - ohealdi - erregina - esaeratsu
inevitable/fated - fragile - to loose weight - time spent in bed - queen - wise
"Fated to be fragile and losing weight, our wise queen spent her time in bed."

 

          Cheops. This is the Latin spelling because neither Egyptian nor Greek possesses the 'c'. The name should be spelled: Keops, the 'h' had to be added when the 'k' was changed to 'c' otherwise the name would have been pronounced Seops. Therefore, the 'h' was added much later and does not belong in the name translation.

 

Keops
.ke - e.o - op. - .s.
ake - eho - opa - asa
akela - ehortzetak - opakuntza - asaba
Goddess - funeral - offering - ancestor
"The Goddess' funeral offering to the ancestors".

 

          This translation tells us that Keops cannot have been the name of the pharaoh but instead must have been the name of the Great Pyramid itself. The most impressive stone building, ever constructed, was not built as the tomb for just one king, but instead for all the people. The mighty sarcophagus always stands open and was intended to be available for all the beloved departed of the world. Strabo in his "Geographica" tells about a stone in the side of the pyramid that may be taken out. Petrie interpreted this statement to mean that there was a flap-door composed of a single slab of stone (Edwards). It could have been there to allow access to the sarcophagus for the funerals of the people. This explains why the great pyramid has no decorations to show scenes of the dead pharaoh's life. The huge sarcophagus was never intended for the pharaoh alone, although it is possible that he was the first one to use it. His real grave may yet be found, hidden deep under the pyramid, where his personal life would have been depicted on the walls. If this is indeed the case, the grave will likely be found intact. Herodotus tells about subterranean chambers where vaults were constructed on an island, surrounded by water brought from the Nile by tunnel. On this island, he was told, the body of Khufu lies. Nothing of that description has ever been found. It is interesting that a Japanese expedition has recently found evidence of just such underground caverns while sounding the underlying rock with sophisticated equipment.


          The name "Akela'', meaning Goddess, is still used in many Indo-European languages but now means 'witch', a meaning-change enforced by the Christian and Judaic clergy. As male domination throughout the following millennia has made every effort to eliminate the memory of the Great Goddess, this is likely the reason why the spelling of the name Keops was changed to Cheops, to hide the '.ke' of 'ake'.

 

          Khufu. This must be the real name of the "great pharaoh" Keops because Khufu'khaf was the name of his son who died in infancy. The final letters 'ufu' are untranslatable therefore, an interruption of the vowel interlocking must be assumed. The 'f' is interchangeable with 'b':

 

Khu'fu
.k. - .hu  '  fu,
aka - ahu  '  bu

akabu - ahurrelaritza  '  bukatu
perfect - leadership  ' to bring to a finish
"Perfect leadership brought (the pyramid) to a finish."

"He warned about the danger and wrote about his suspicions of the poisonous Hebrews."
