 SAILOR
LIMITED EDITION
THE PHARAOHS
The Ancient
Egyptians were excellent record keepers,
'storing' the details in 'Hieroglyphics'- a word
derived from the Greek words 'Hiero' meaning
'Sacred' and 'Glyphein' meaning to 'carve' or'
inscribe'.
More than 2000 hieroglyphic characters were used
representing common objects, by the sound of the
characters required. The reading direction of
the Hieroglyphic characters was determined by
the direction the figures faced in the
inscription.
Many of the inscriptions 'Hieroglyphics'
specifically related to "The Pharaohs"
(rulers) of the time. One famous source of
Hieroglyphics was 'The Rosetta Stone' (now in
the British Museum) which was found in 1799 and
dates back to 196BC. It was translated and was
found to have engravings written by a group of
priests to honor and celebrate the Ancient
Egyptian Pharaohs of the era.
The stories recount the great achievements of
these ancient rulers -"The Pharaohs"
The Ancient Egyptians were the first
civilization to perfect writing instruments,
inks and papyrus (paper) to record and preserve
their scripts.
This special Limited Edition Fountain pen from
Sailor "The Pharaohs" is skillfully
'etched' with a selection of authentic
hieroglyphic inscriptions symbolizing and
celebrating these important ancient Egyptian
Pharaohs and the stories surrounding them at the
time

INSCRIPTION
These
authentic Hieroglyphic inscriptions were found
on a limestone 'Stela' at the tomb of the
Pharaoh Inyotef (Antef). The detail
relates to praise of the Pharaoh himself and his
achievements during his reign. Significant
reference is made to the protection of the body
of the Pharaoh in the tomb by the Gods 'Khentamentiu'
and 'Wepwawet' (both jackal protectors of the
dead and the tombs). These Gods are
entrusted to protect ad supervise the body in
transit to the 'next life' beyond the
grave. The Ancient Egyptians were
great believers in Life after death of their
great Pharaohs.
