&lt;span style="color:rgb(255, 0, 0)"&gt;• Türk mitolojisinde dünyayı yaratan Kara Han, dünyanın tam merkezine dokuz dallı çam ağacı dikmişti.&lt;br&gt;•
Altaylara göre insanın iskeletinde; baş, bel, diz, topuk, ayak bileği,
omuz, dirsek, avuç ve el bileği olmak üzere dokuz ek vardır.&lt;br&gt;• Şamanların davulunda Tanrı Ülgen’in kızının dokuz ve bir anlatışta da üç resmi vardır.&lt;br&gt;•
Şamanların giydikleri “manyak” adındaki hırkanın sağ kolunda dört, sol
kolunda beş olmak üzere toplam dokuz çıngırak bulunmaktadır.&lt;br&gt;• Türk destanlarına göre Dokuzoğuz’lardan büyük bir soy türemiştir.&lt;br&gt;• Yakutlara göre gök tanrıları dokuzdur.&lt;br&gt;•
Türk destanlarına göre Oğuz’un verdiği şölende dokuz ile ilgili olarak
900 at, 9000 koyun kesilmiş ve 90 havuzda kımız yapılmıştır. &lt;br&gt;•
Altay Türklerinin bir kıyamet tasvirinde denizin dibinde dokuz çatallı
karataş vardır ki, kıyamet zamanında bu taş dokuz yerinden ayrılacak,
demirden ve koyu sarı renkte atlara binmiş dokuz savaşçı etrafa
saldıracaktır. (Kaynak Türk Mitolojisi)&lt;br&gt;• Ölen kişi için yapılacak
esas tören için çadır hazırlanır. Bu çadırın bir çıkış yeri, bir de
giriş yeri vardır. Giriş yeri bu dünyayı, çıkış yeri de öteki dünyayı
sembolize etmektedir. Şaman, çadırın önüne gelerek, giriş yerine dokuz
kez vurur ve böylece zararlı cinleri ürkütmüş olur.&lt;br&gt;• Hastalık
tedavisi için şaman davulu üzerine su iyelerini temsil eden iki balık
tasvir edilir. Balıkların iç hastalıklarını iyileştirdiğine inanılır.
Eğer kam kötü ruhlardan daha güçlüyse onları dağ ruhlarının hanının
yaşadığı dokuz denizin sonuna kadar sürebilir. Eğer kam zayıfsa, yolun
yarısından döner ve balık hastayı yeniden alt eder.&lt;br&gt;• Şaman
cübbesinin yakasından sallanan dokuz küçük kukla Ülgen’in dokuz kızını,
küçücük cübbeler onların elbiselerini temsil eder.&lt;br&gt;• Altay ve
Sibirya şamanlığında inanca göre şamanlar göğe çıkarlar ve göğün dokuz
katını dolaştıktan sonra yere inerlerdi. Şamanın göğe çıkmasından önce
bir tören yapılır ve şaman, dokuz şaman çırağının tuttuğu beyaz bir
keçe üzerine konarak dokuz defa döndürülürdü.&lt;br&gt;• Tanrı Ülgen’in dokuz
oğlu ve dokuz kızı vardı. Oğullarının ve diğer elçilerinin yardımıyla
kamiara yoi göstererek insanları yukarıdan yönetirdi. Bulutlar, Tanrı
Ülgen’in duygularını yansıtırdı.&lt;br&gt;• Tanrı Ülgen’in dokuz kızı ilâhî
saflıkları ve güzellikleri nedeniyle ak olarak anılırdı. Ak, Altay
Türkçesinde cennet demekti. Kamların ilham perileri olan akkızların
şaman davullarına resimleri yapılır, kimi zaman da sembolleri, şaman
cüppesine dikilirdi. Sadece iki tanesinin adı bilinirdi: Kiştey Ana ve
Erke Soldon.&lt;br&gt;• Bir de yeraltı dünyası vardı ki burasının hanı
Erlik’ti. Erlik Han’ın da Karakızlar denilen dokuz kızı vardı. Kamlar,
yeryüzünü yeraltına bağlayan kapılardan geçtiklerinde Erlik’in
karakızları, eğlence ve oyunlarla kamları kandırarak işlerinden
alıkoyar, onları kendilerine çekerlerdi. Aslında çok alımlı değillerdi
ama cilveli, işveli dişilerdi.&lt;br&gt;• Türk kağanlarının dokuz tuğu bulunurdu.&lt;br&gt;•
Radloff’un saptadığı Manas Destanı’nda Manas’ın gömülüşü anlatılırken,
ölüsünün dokuz gün bekletildiği, işlemeli giyimlerinin dokuz parçaya
bölünüp halka üleştirildiği anlatılır. &lt;br&gt;• Osmanlı Türklerinde de görülen, verilen armağanın dokuz sayısı ile ölçülmesi geleneği çok eskilere dayanır. &lt;br&gt;• Marco Polo, Cengizli Kaganlığı’nda büyük hana verilen armağanların dokuz kat olarak sunulması gerektiğini söyler. &lt;br&gt;• Dede Korkut Kitabı’nda geçen dokuzlama çargap armağanların en büyüğüdür.&lt;br&gt;• Dede Korkut Kitabı’nda, Deli Dumrul doğduğunda babası dokuz buğra öldürür. &lt;br&gt;•
Dede Korkut Kitabı’nda Oğuz beğlerinin toylarında onlara dokuz
karagözlü kâfır kızları sağrak (bardak, kadeh) sürerler, badyalar dokuz
yerde kurulur, Oğuz alpı övünürken düşmanın dokuzunu bir yerine
saydıracağını söyler, dört tür kadın içinde en kötüsü sabahleyin daha
elini yıkamadan dokuz bulamaç yer.&lt;br&gt;• “Dokuz” kelimesinin Eski
Türkçedeki söylenişi tokuz’dur. Eski Türk boylarının kimilerinin
adlarında dokuz sözcüğü geçer. Örnek Tokuz Oğuz (Dokuz Oğuz), Tokuz
Ogur (Dokuz Ogur), Tokuz Tatar (Dokuz Tatar).&lt;br&gt;• Altay şamanları,
omuzlarında dokuz ok (Yebe) ve yay (Ya) simgelerini eksik etmezler.
Onlara göre bu dokuz ok ile yaya, Kuday’dan tartkan, yani Tanrı’dan
uzatılan şeylerdir.&lt;br&gt;• Altay Türklerinde şaman (kam), Ülgen’e
(Tanrı’ya) kurban sunmak için göğe çıkar. Bu yolculuk üç gün sürer.
Kurbanı göğün dokuzuncu katına çıkarınca Ülgen’e sunar. &lt;br&gt;• Altay Türklerine göre, Yeraltı ve gök dokuzar kattır.&lt;br&gt;•
Altay şamanizminde Ülgen’in dokuz kızı ve dokuz oğlu varken, kötülüğün
simgesi olan Erlik Han’ın (Erlik Han bir tür şeytandır) da aynı biçimde
dokuz kızı ile dokuz oğlu vardır.&lt;br&gt;• Yine Altay Türklerinde, Örüs Sara adını taşıyan bahar bayramı dokuz mart’ta kutlanır.&lt;br&gt;• Altaylıların Gök Tanrı Kurbanı ile Dağ Kurbanı bayramlarının törenleri dokuz gün sürer. &lt;br&gt;• Altay Türklerinde ilkbahar âyinine de dokuz masum kız ile dokuz masum erkek katılır. &lt;br&gt;•
Altay Türklerinin Yaratılış Destanı’nda Tanrı, evreni yaratırken bir de
dokuz dallı bir ağaç yaratır. Sonra Tanrı, her dokuz dalın kökünden
birer kişi yaratır ve her kişiden birer oymak türer (toplam dokuz kişi,
dokuz oymak). &lt;br&gt;• Anohin, Altay Türklerinin inanışında yer alan ve
yer altında yaşayan Abra ve Yutpa adlı iki büyük canavarla ilgili
bilgiler verirken şöyle der: “Yeşil bir kumaştan yapılmış ve örgülerle
süslenmiş Abra’nın tasviri, şamanın giysisine asılır. Abra’nın başı
puhu tüyleri (ülberk) ile süslenir. Gözü, parlak bakır düğmelerden,
ayakları da genellikle kırmızı kumaşlardan seçilmiş yamalardan yapılır.
Bunlara örülmüş dokuz püskül eklenir.” Altay Türklerinin kutsal yaşam
(gök) ağacı da dokuz dallıdır.&lt;br&gt;• Güney Sibirya’da yaşayan Minusinsk
Tatarlarının söylediği bir destanda, İrle Han’ın evinin önünde bir kara
ağaç vardır. Bu ağacın kökünden dokuz ağaç yükselir.&lt;br&gt;• Bir Güney Sibirya masalında yer altındaki kötü ruhlar, masalın kahramanı olan çocuğa dokuz zincir vurur ve hapsederler.&lt;br&gt;• Kuzey Asya masallarında altın yeleli, gümüş üzengili, kuyruğu dokuz örmeli, dokuz kolanlı atlardan söz edilir. &lt;br&gt;•
Saka (Yakut) Türklerinin Er Sogotoh Destanı’nda gök, dokuz katlıdır;
yine bu destanda Kara Han’ın dokuz kızı vardır. Ayrıca gök ruhları da
dokuz adettir.&lt;br&gt;• Göktürkler çağında bir kişi kağan olduğunda, bir
kalkan (ya da bir keçe) üzerine konup, göğe kaldırılarak dokuz kez
döndürülürdü.&lt;br&gt;• Göktürk Anıtları’nda, Tokuz Ersin (Dokuz Ersin) adındaki bir yerden söz edilir.&lt;br&gt;• Hülâgu’nun karısı ve en yakın danışmanı olan Hristiyan kadının adı Dokuz Hatun idi.&lt;br&gt;• Türk destanlarında dokuz ağaç, dokuz boy, dokuz dallı ağaç, dokuz dev, dokuz felek, Dokuz Oğuz gibi tabirler çokça geçer.&lt;br&gt;•
Türkler Ergenekon’dan, bir rivayete göre dokuz martta, bir rivayete
göre de yirmi bir martta (Nevruz Bayramı’nın kutlandığı gün)
çıkmışlardır. &lt;br&gt;• Oğuz Destanı’nın İslâmî versiyonunda Oguz Kagan,
oğulları ve ordusu bir seferden sağ esen dönünce, büyük bir toy
hazırlanmasını buyurur. Büyük bir otağ diktirir ve otağın her direğini
altınla kaplar. Yakut, safir, zümrüt, firuze gibi değerli taşlar ve
incilerle süsletir. Bu olay, destanda şu sözcüklerle anlatılır:&lt;br&gt;Bir ev tikdi altundan ol şehriyar,&lt;br&gt;Kim ol evden felek evi kıldı ârâ.&lt;br&gt;Tokuz yüz yılkı (at), tokuz bin koy (koyun) öltürdi, &lt;br&gt;Bulğardan (deriden) toksan tokuz havuz kıldurdı,&lt;br&gt;Tokuzına arak (rakı), toksanına kımız tolturttı. &lt;br&gt;Barça (bütün) nökerlerin (beğlerin) keltürtti (getirtti).&lt;br&gt;•
Ebül Gazi Bahadır Han’ın Şecere-i Terâkime (Türkmenler’in Şeceresi)
adlı eserine göre Oguz Kagan’ın oğlu Gün Han, verdiği bu şölende dokuz
yüz at ile dokuz bin koyun kestirir, deriden yapılmış dokuz havuza rakı
doldurtur, doksan deri havuza da kımız saldırır.&lt;br&gt;• Manas Destanı’nda
ağulanıp ölen Manas’ın cenaze töreni anlatılırken, dokuz sayısı büyük
rol oynar. Destanda, Manas’ın ölüsü dokuz gün bekletilir. Doksan kısrak
kesilir, halka dokuz kat kumaş dağıtılır. Manas dirilince, kırk yiğidi
bunu öğrendiğinde her biri dokuz deve ile dokuz inek kestirir.&lt;br&gt;• Manas Destanı’nda Köl-Çora, dokuz çobanlı bir sürüde aş pişirir.&lt;br&gt;•
Sakalarda (Yakut) yaşlı Şaman, genç şaman adayını yüksek bir dağın
başına ya da bozkıra götürerek ona Şaman giysisi giydirir; eline bir
davul ile at kılı sarılı bir söğüt dalı verir. Adayın sağında dokuz
erkek, solunda dokuz kız çocuk yer alır.&lt;br&gt;• Sakalarda (Yakut) Şaman,
insanlarda çeşitli akıl hastalıklarına neden olduğuna inanılan dişi ruh
için, dokuz kakım, dokuz sarı sıçan, dokuz kokarca, dokuz güvercin azad
edeceğine söz verir.&lt;br&gt;• Bir Moğol boyu olan Buryatlarda şaman
adayının, şaman olabilmesi için bir tören düzenlenir. Bu tören dokuz
gün sürer. Dokuzuncu gün bir keçe üzerine oturtulan aday, havaya
kaldırılarak Şaman ilân edilir. &lt;br&gt;• Altaylılarda Kam, ruhları kovmak
için, giysisine bir takım şeyler de takar. Bunların arasında kollara,
sırta takılan küçük zil ve çıngıraklar vardır. Bu arada, cübbenin
kollarının alt kısmına, 4’ü sağda, 5’i solda olmak üzere dokuz adet,
bakırdan yapılmış küçük çıngıraklar asılıdır. Çıngırakların üst
sırasında ise dokuz küçük yay vardır. Bu arada sırt kısmında, yakanın
hemen altına rastlayan yerden dokuz bebek sarkar. Bunlar Ülgen’in
kızlarını simgelerler.&lt;br&gt;• Güney Altaylılarda şaman davulunun tokmağı
(orbu) genç bir kayın ağacından yapılır. Tokmağın diğer yüzüne süs
olarak üç ya da dokuz halka takılıdır.&lt;br&gt;• Radloff’a göre. Kamın gök
yolculuğu için gereken hazırlıklara akşam saatlerinde başlanır. Tören
yeri, ıssız bir ormanda kurulan bir çadırdan ibarettir. Kam. önce
sürüden kurbanlık bir at seçer. Hayvanı kesmeden önce, göğün dokuzuncu
katına çıkarak kurbanı, gökteki en büyük ruhun (Ülgen) onayına sunar.
Kurban beğenilirse, hemen o akşam kesilir. Göğün dokuzuncu katına
ulaşınca, kurbanın ruhunu Ülgen’e sunar. &lt;br&gt;• Telengitlerde bir ulu
Şaman vardı. Ya Oyrot Hanın kendisi, ya da Elzen Hanın oğlu
hastalanmıştı. Han Şaman Abıs’ı ona kamlık etmek için çağırdı. Abıs
Karez gelip hastayı kurtardı. Han ona yılkıdan dokuz at, bir de seyis
verdi.&lt;br&gt;• Hakaslar ölülerinin arkasından yılda altı kez yemek
verirlerdi ve kirek dedikleri duaları okurlardı. Kirek günlerinde
evdeki dua bittiğinde kara ruhu evden kovmak gerekirdi. Aksi hâlde kara
ruh evde olanlara mutsuzluk getirirdi. Bunun için bir at kafatası, dört
at bacağı, dokuz adet kuşburnu dalı, dokuz parça kuşüzümü ağacı dalı,
dokuz siyah taş, üç akdiken dalı ve orak demiri hazırlanırdı.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;

It is situated at the extremity of the long peninsula that forms the southern side of the &lt;i&gt;Sinus Ceramicus&lt;/i&gt; or Gulf of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kos" title=Kos&gt;Kos&lt;/a&gt;.

&lt;p&gt;It was built partly on the mainland and partly on the Island of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Triopion&amp;amp;action=edit" title=Triopion&gt;Triopion&lt;/a&gt; or Cape Krio, which anciently communicated with the continent by a causeway and bridge, and now by a narrow sandy &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isthmus" title=Isthmus&gt;isthmus&lt;/a&gt;.
By means of the causeway the channel between island and mainland was
formed into two harbours, of which the larger, or southern, was further
enclosed by two strongly-built moles that are still in good part entire.

&lt;p&gt;The extreme length of the city was little less than a mile, and the
whole intramural area is still thickly strewn. with architectural
remains. The walls, both insular and continental, can be traced
throughout their whole circuit; and in many places, especially round
the acropolis, at the northeast corner of the city, they are remarkably
perfect. Our knowledge of the site is largely due to the mission of the
&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dilettante_Society" title="Dilettante Society"&gt;Dilettante Society&lt;/a&gt; in 1812, and the excavations executed by C T Newton in 1857-1858.

&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agora" title=Agora&gt;agora&lt;/a&gt;,
the theatre, an odeum, a temple of Dionysus, a temple of the Muses, a
temple of Aphrodite and a great number of minor buildings have been
identified, and the general plan of the city has been very clearly made
out. The most famous statue by the elder &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Praxiteles" title=Praxiteles&gt;Praxiteles&lt;/a&gt;, the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aphrodite" title=Aphrodite&gt;Aphrodite&lt;/a&gt;, was made for Cnidus. It has perished, but late copies exist, of which the most faithful is in the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Vatican_gallery&amp;amp;action=edit" title="Vatican gallery"&gt;Vatican gallery&lt;/a&gt;. In a temple-enclosure Newton discovered a fine seated statue of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demeter" title=Demeter&gt;Demeter&lt;/a&gt;, which now adorns the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Museum" title="British Museum"&gt;British Museum&lt;/a&gt;;
and about 3 miles south-east of the city he came upon the ruins of a
splendid tomb, and a colossal figure of a lion carved out of one block
of Pentelic marble, 10 feet in length and 6 in height, which has been
supposed to commemorate the great naval &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Cnidus" title="Battle of Cnidus"&gt;victory&lt;/a&gt; of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conon" title=Conon&gt;Conon&lt;/a&gt; over the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lacedaemon" title=Lacedaemon&gt;Lacedaemonians&lt;/a&gt; in &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/394_BC" title="394 BC"&gt;394 BC&lt;/a&gt;.

&lt;p&gt;Knidos was a city of high antiquity and probably of Lacedaemonian colonization. Along with &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halicarnassus" title=Halicarnassus&gt;Halicarnassus&lt;/a&gt; and Kos, and the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhodes" title=Rhodes&gt;Rhodian&lt;/a&gt; cities of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindos" title=Lindos&gt;Lindos&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kamiros&amp;amp;action=edit" title=Kamiros&gt;Kamiros&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ialyssos" title=Ialyssos&gt;Ialyssos&lt;/a&gt; it formed the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Dorian_Hexapolis&amp;amp;action=edit" title="Dorian Hexapolis"&gt;Dorian Hexapolis&lt;/a&gt;, which held its confederate assemblies on the Triopian headland, and there celebrated games in honour of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo" title=Apollo&gt;Apollo&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poseidon" title=Poseidon&gt;Poseidon&lt;/a&gt; and the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nymph" title=Nymph&gt;nymphs&lt;/a&gt;.

&lt;div style="float:right"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:KnidosKriegshafen.jpg" title="image:KnidosKriegshafen.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a1/KnidosKriegshafen.jpg" alt="image:KnidosKriegshafen.jpg" longdesc="/wiki/Image:KnidosKriegshafen.jpg" height=203 width=300&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;i&gt;War harbour, Knidos, Karia&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The city was at first governed by an &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oligarchy" title=Oligarchy&gt;oligarchic&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Senate" title=Senate&gt;senate&lt;/a&gt;,
composed of sixty members, and presided over by a magistrate; but,
though it is proved by inscriptions that the old names continued to a
very late period, the constitution underwent a popular transformation.
The situation of the city was favourable for commerce, and the Knidians
acquired considerable wealth, and were able to colonize the island of
Lipara, and founded the city of Corcyra Nigra in the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adriatic_Sea" title="Adriatic Sea"&gt;Adriatic&lt;/a&gt;. They ultimately submitted to &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyrus_the_Great" title="Cyrus the Great"&gt;Cyrus&lt;/a&gt;, and from the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Eurymedon" title="Battle of Eurymedon"&gt;battle of Eurymedon&lt;/a&gt; to the latter part of the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peloponnesian_War" title="Peloponnesian War"&gt;Peloponnesian War&lt;/a&gt; they were subject to &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Athens" title=Athens&gt;Athens&lt;/a&gt;.

&lt;p&gt;In 394 BC Conon fought off the port the battle which destroyed &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sparta" title=Sparta&gt;Spartan&lt;/a&gt; hegemony. The Romans easily obtained their allegiance, and rewarded them for help given against &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antiochus" title=Antiochus&gt;Antiochus&lt;/a&gt;
by leaving them the freedom of their city. During the Byzantine period
there must still have been a considerable population: for the ruins
contain a large number of buildings belonging to the Byzantine style,
and Christian sepulchres are common in the neighbourhood.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eudoxus_of_Cnidus" title="Eudoxus of Cnidus"&gt;Eudoxus&lt;/a&gt;, the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astronomer" title=Astronomer&gt;astronomer&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ctesias" title=Ctesias&gt;Ctesias&lt;/a&gt;, the writer on &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Persia" title="History of Persia"&gt;Persian history&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sostratus_of_Cnidus" title="Sostratus of Cnidus"&gt;Sostratus&lt;/a&gt;, the builder of the celebrated &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lighthouse_of_Alexandria" title="Lighthouse of Alexandria"&gt;Pharos at Alexandria&lt;/a&gt;, are the most remarkable of the Knidians mentioned in history.

own unique symbols and alphabets but there has been none as spectacular
as the Egyptians with their heiroglyphics. &lt;br&gt; Heiroglyphics were
used as a written language. Each of the symbols stood for a sound,
unlike English, heiroglyphics were used phonetically.&lt;br&gt; If you click
one of the links to the side you will be taken to a page with the
relevant symbol, its equivelant English letter and examples of what it
should sound like..&lt;p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;At a later date Gods and Goddesses will be added as well as other Egyptian Symbols.&lt;/b&gt; &lt;table border=0 cellpadding=2 cellspacing=0 width="90%"&gt;

Sometimes an extra symbol was used to better explain the word these
were known as &amp;quot;determinatives&amp;quot;. If you click one of the links to the
bottom you will be taken to a page with the relevant symbol and its
equivelant English meaning. I think of these symbols as being nouns and
adverbs. &lt;table style="font-family:tahoma,helvetica,sans-serif" border=0 cellpadding=2 cellspacing=0 width="100%"&gt; &lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr align=center valign=middle&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.uponreflection.co.uk/heiro/determ/d01.htm"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.uponreflection.co.uk/heiro/determ/d_but/d01b.gif" alt=man border=0 height=44 width=43&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.uponreflection.co.uk/heiro/determ/d02.htm"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.uponreflection.co.uk/heiro/determ/d_but/d02b.gif" alt=woman border=0 height=44 width=43&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.uponreflection.co.uk/heiro/determ/d03.htm"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.uponreflection.co.uk/heiro/determ/d_but/d03b.gif" alt=people border=0 height=44 width=43&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.uponreflection.co.uk/heiro/determ/d04.htm"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.uponreflection.co.uk/heiro/determ/d_but/d04b.gif" alt=land border=0 height=44 width=43&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.uponreflection.co.uk/heiro/determ/d05.htm"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.uponreflection.co.uk/heiro/determ/d_but/d05b.gif" alt=foreigner border=0 height=44 width=43&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.uponreflection.co.uk/heiro/determ/d06.htm"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.uponreflection.co.uk/heiro/determ/d_but/d06b.gif" alt=town border=0 height=44 width=43&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.uponreflection.co.uk/heiro/determ/d07.htm"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.uponreflection.co.uk/heiro/determ/d_but/d07b.gif" alt=child border=0 height=44 width=43&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;tr align=center valign=middle&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.uponreflection.co.uk/heiro/determ/d08.htm"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.uponreflection.co.uk/heiro/determ/d_but/d08b.gif" alt=god border=0 height=44 width=43&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.uponreflection.co.uk/heiro/determ/d09.htm"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.uponreflection.co.uk/heiro/determ/d_but/d09b.gif" alt=leg border=0 height=44 width=43&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.uponreflection.co.uk/heiro/determ/d10.htm"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.uponreflection.co.uk/heiro/determ/d_but/d10b.gif" alt=movement border=0 height=44 width=43&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.uponreflection.co.uk/heiro/determ/d11.htm"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.uponreflection.co.uk/heiro/determ/d_but/d11b.gif" alt=backwards border=0 height=44 width=43&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.uponreflection.co.uk/heiro/determ/d12.htm"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.uponreflection.co.uk/heiro/determ/d_but/d12b.gif" alt=enemy border=0 height=44 width=43&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.uponreflection.co.uk/heiro/determ/d13.htm"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.uponreflection.co.uk/heiro/determ/d_but/d13b.gif" alt=die border=0 height=44 width=43&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.uponreflection.co.uk/heiro/determ/d14.htm"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.uponreflection.co.uk/heiro/determ/d_but/d14a.gif" alt=plural border=0 height=44 width=43&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt; &lt;/table&gt;
Here are some of the most common Kings. Unfortunately at present I
don't have that much information on them but at a later date they will
be researched properly. &lt;table style="font-family:tahoma,helvetica,sans-serif" border=0 cellpadding=4 cellspacing=0 width="100%"&gt; &lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt; &lt;td align=center&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.uponreflection.co.uk/heiro/kings/cheops.htm"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.uponreflection.co.uk/heiro/kings/img/cheops_1.jpg" alt=Cheops border=0 height=52 vspace=10 width=153&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td align=center&gt; &lt;table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 width="100%"&gt; &lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr align=center&gt; &lt;td align=right width="50%"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.uponreflection.co.uk/heiro/kings/nefer.htm"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.uponreflection.co.uk/heiro/kings/img/nefer_1.jpg" alt=Nefertiti border=0 height=52 hspace=5 vspace=10 width=241&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;td align=left width="50%"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.uponreflection.co.uk/heiro/kings/rames.htm"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.uponreflection.co.uk/heiro/kings/img/rames_1.jpg" alt="Ramesses II" border=0 height=52 hspace=5 vspace=10 width=241&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;   &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td align=center&gt; &lt;table border=0 cellpadding=3 cellspacing=0 width="99%"&gt; &lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr align=center&gt; &lt;td width="33%"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.uponreflection.co.uk/heiro/kings/akhen.htm"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.uponreflection.co.uk/heiro/kings/img/akhen_1.jpg" alt=Akhenaten border=0 height=52 vspace=10 width=209&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;td width="33%"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.uponreflection.co.uk/heiro/kings/hat.htm"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.uponreflection.co.uk/heiro/kings/img/hat_1.jpg" alt=Hatshepsut border=0 height=52 vspace=10 width=249&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;td width="33%"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.uponreflection.co.uk/heiro/kings/tutan.htm"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.uponreflection.co.uk/heiro/kings/img/tutan_1.jpg" alt=Tutankhamun border=0 height=52 vspace=10 width=214&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt; &lt;/table&gt;Numbers
were written as many times as was necessary to make up the full number.
Emphasis was always on laying them out as neatly as possible.&lt;br&gt; The
Egyptians only used addition and subtraction and didn't use abstract
theorems to calculate their numbers, instead they used tangible
everyday objects - such as the number of bricks that will be needed,
how much will be needed to fill a jar, etc. These objects were
standardize at a very early date so would supply accurate results for
the Egyptians.&lt;br&gt; They had no concept of zero but did use fractions (written by using an '&lt;b&gt;R&lt;/b&gt;' with a number under it &lt;b&gt;i.e. 1/...&lt;/b&gt; )&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;table border=0 cellpadding=2 cellspacing=0 width="100%"&gt;
