kovert, the one and only Member # 5017	posted Have you read Ankh Mi Ra's "Let the ancestors speak: removing the veil of mysticism from Medu Netcher". If so what's your opinion of it. quote: Originally posted by ausar: Here are some books that might help you begin to learn Mdu Ntr.

ausar Member # 1797	posted I have never read this book. If you have read it then you must tell us if it assist a person to fully understand Mdu Ntr. Isn't the editor of the book Theophile Obenga? I hope that it's not another attempt to fuse Eastern mysticism with Kemetian spirtuality like the Mdu Ntr volumes I and II are by Ra Un Nefer Amen.
kovert, the one and only Member # 5017	posted I have not found the time to really get into the book. Now I can understand how difficult it is to learn a new language for an older person. Things like determinatives, transitive verbs and what not. In his bibliography he list many of the same books you posted. He does stresses that the reader must spend a lot of time studying because learning the md ntr is not an easy task. quote: Originally posted by ausar: I have never read this book.
