Hey, I answer here 'cause I can't access to "Flow"... Italian is a beautiful language (but I'm very fair... ehehe ^^)... All you need to begin your study is a truly wish to learn it... nothing more... I mean, at least this is all I needed in the past to start studying all the languages that I love... ^___^ And if you need some help, knock on my blog's door ^^
Bye Chiara
ps: yes, Kemet is the name of Egypt in middle egyptian and it means "the black land" (from the colour of the fertile mud left by the river Nile during his floods in ancient times... so the desert was called desheret - "the red land"). More precisely Upper Egypt was called Shemaw and Lower Egypt Ta-mehw... this is the reason why the word often used for Egypt in the past was tawy "the two lands". The name "Egypt" comes from the greek "Aigyptos" and probably imitate the ancient egyptian Hwt Ka Ptah "house of the Ptah's Ka", the name of a Ptah's temple in Memphi... sorry, too long... but this is my field ^___^
Bye Chiara
ps: if you spot grammar/vocabulary mistakes in my writng, let me know, so I can improve... ehhehe!!
My field is in egyptology... that's what I am studying ^___^ Here, in Italy, there are no specific sub-fields inside "egyptology"... if you want to take your degree in that subject you have to know 'all' about it: language, history, archaeology, art, religion, etc. But above all I truly love egyptian archaeology and you can't be a good archaeologist without knowing, obviously, the history and the language.
Hey Iac ^o^ I've read about your research. It's very, very interesting... I don't know anything about computer modeling, texture mapping, ect. but one thing strikes me: it would be really great if this new tool could help everyone (who wants or need it) on studing museum's artifacts also from their own home... I'd love having 3D images of 'my' terracottas (that's what I am studyng...) in my pc... well, but I hope to see them live one of these days... ehhehe ^___^ Hugs Chiara
ps: yes, I know glyph language... we can't pass the exam and take the degree in egyptology without proving our ability on reading glyphs and translating them from ancient egyptian into our language ^^
Certainly, you can create a 3D model of home artifacts and display online. Some approaches are expensive but some could be affordable. We did one horse bone 3D model online before: http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/user/ycai/teaching.html
Using QuickTime VR, you can rotate the bone from the browse. Please let me know if you can see you.
Also thanks for your suggestion. I think it's a great idea to create a product for it.

Ptah's temple in emphi... wonderful site. Is your field in archeology or history?

Here is a news about my research on Mummies. :-)

You must know the glyph language. I went to Copenhagen and found a lot of Egyptian collection in a sculpture museum. I like Egyptian art.
