The Language Of The Ancients

[agent 007]

Hello

I know it's kind of a stupid request, but just for fun, does anyone know where I can find a web site that shows you how to write in Ancient?



God bless

[Lord Zedd]

you aren't the only one who wants to know how to read ancient and write it I hope that people can help you

[defina91rvc]

how to write and read it??? jeez, it just looks like a bunch of dashes to me. but i think that its a very old form of latin when spoken, if that helps at all.

In the Atlantis Season one forum there is a thread called Ancient alphabet (I think I got it). Not only does it have the alphabet it also has many translations from the show.
I hope this helps.

You can see that thread here. There's some basic information there in the first post, and updates later. Enjoy!

The art department at Bridge Studios is still working on an actual language - alot of it has been gibberish supposedly - but they didn't know the fans were actually deciphiring it - so they are still working at getting universal.

If by language you mean English with the characters from the Roman alphabet replaced with the made up ones then yes it is.

I'm agree, I don't know how is the alphabeth, but it sounds like Latin.

Daniel said it sounded like medieval Latin, though it's a little different. The examples we've heard so far suggest that it's a bit simpler, for the nouns at least.

No!!! I remember in a interview they said they didnt realize that fans where actually translating it - previous to S7 it was all pretty much gibberish

They simply meant that fans had decrypted the Ancient alphabet, but all written text is English.. just using a different font (which is mostly available for you to download).

Hm

I wish they did use Midieval latin, I remember how much fun deciphering what the Abydoins said in the movie was

What did they say? I haven't tried to decipher it, and I don't know much about ancient Egyptian.

he said it looks simmilar, with different stems. It basicly had the ancient but with a minor difference or two
