Egyptian Calligraphy

"Susan"

Write your name!

Use the alphabet below to spell out your name in ancient Egyptian. Instead of writing from left to right, try writing vertically -- from top to bottom.

Draw a cartouche around it to finish (see example to the right), or add the word for "man" or "woman" at the end!

Don't write any silent letters:

SARAH becomes SARA

Use the sounds not the spelling:

MICHAEL becomes MYKAL

At the end of your name, you can write the symbol for MAN or WOMAN. That's all there is to it!
