"Begin With the Children of Your Teachings"

How many times have you heard it said, "Its better to start teaching them while they are young!" These words can go down as written in the hall of fame, or "House of Fame" if translated by Egyptologist into English from heiroglyphs. In fragment B02, 7,2 translated in the Book of Thoth on page 15 the script directs "the-one-who-loves-knowledge" to say
"O may your prophecy be eternally young! O foremost one of (or before) the House of Documents! Begin with the children of your teaching!"

There are many instances in Egyptian records that show the importance of learning the hieroglyphs and to scribe as a child. House of Documents, Hall of Records, or House of Books are all what I would consider to be a modern day Library. In my blog I will refer to the place where those in KMT stored writings as libraries, instead of the translations provided. Libraries have been found dating as far back to the time of Narmers palate and King Scorpio, who carried on the teachings of Ssh around 3200BC during the Naqada III period (pre-Dynastic). We will discuss him more later.

Children figure prominately in the art of writing. Teaching our children this gift that has been passed down to us by our intelligent ancestors is most beneficial when they are young. And that, my friends, is just ancient Kemetic wisdom!
