I recently came a cross this project developed by google to explore the potentials of using machine learning in translation of ancient hieroglyphic scripts or ancient languages.
The project main goals to decode Egyptian languages through machine learning , however our plan will be to use the project to explore the ancient Nubian / Kushite history " area now called Sudan "especially during the times their history intertwined with Egypt.The Kushite king Piye invaded and took control over Egypt and they became the Twenty-fifth dynasty of Egypt. The 25th dynasty controlled Egypt for over 73 years.
Our aim is to use the project and other tools to reconstruct and translate Nubian and kushite artifacts in hieroglyphic.
This digital research tool is motivated by the Ubisoft "Hieroglyphics Initiative" to help historian and interested organizations in their work.
To learn more about how the initiative started please watch the video
The tool is available at the following link:
The workbench is available at
If you have any ancient Nubian/kushite photos taken at Sudanese Historical sites please email it to us to help restoring the fragmented history of Sudan at :
