Hello! This is Ju hyun Kang of META EGYPT, who loves and spreads ancient Egypt civilization. Today, I’m introducing you to the ancient Egyptian word <love>.
Love is called <merut> in Ancient Egyptian. Love is an abstract noun, but it's a word that is so precious and important to all of us. Among the many words that are invisible but expressed, I think love is the one that is always breathing in our hearts. In addition, this love can be extended not only to love with lovers, but also to love family, friends, neighbors, pets(^^), and humanity. Even for the ancient Egyptians 5,000 years ago, love was always one of the big themes of life (^^ it seems so obvious).
Chester Beatty Library Gallery The <Love Songs> recorded in the preserved Papyrus Chester Beatty I (verso, column 1 to column 5, line 2), is a verse song about the separation and love between a young man and a woman. It is composed of 7 stanze, and here are some excerpts from the love songs of the ancient Egyptians.
'Most beautiful of all, my She looks like the goddess of the rising stars on New Year's Day. Flawlessly brightly glowing skin, seductive glances, sweet lips...(Omitted)… She stole my heart.’
It seems that the heart of falling in love is something that transcends time and space haha. Valentine's Day in February! Why not send a special message to your loved one in ancient Egyptian?
I love you
