The Hyksos were a group of people who migrated into ancient Egypt from the eastern Mediterranean region around the 17th century BCE. They were likely a mixed group of people, including Semitic-speaking individuals from Western Asia and Hurrian and Kassite people from the area of modern-day Iran.
The Hyksos established their capital at Avaris, in the eastern delta region of Egypt, and began to exert their influence over the northern part of the country. They introduced new military technology, such as the chariot, and they also introduced new cultural and religious practices.
The Hyksos ruled Egypt for about 100 years, during a period known as the Second Intermediate Period. However, they faced increasing resistance from the native Egyptians, who eventually rallied under the leadership of a series of pharaohs from the Theban region in southern Egypt.
The most famous of these pharaohs was Ahmose I, who is credited with launching the successful campaign to expel the Hyksos from Egypt. Ahmose I was able to unite the various factions within Egypt and build a powerful army that was able to defeat the Hyksos in a series of battles. The final battle took place at the city of Avaris, which was the Hyksos capital, and the Egyptians were able to breach the city walls and capture the city.
With the defeat of the Hyksos, Egypt entered the New Kingdom period, which was marked by a renewed sense of national pride and a period of great prosperity and cultural achievement.
The Luwian language is an extinct language that was spoken in ancient Anatolia, now modern-day Turkey. Here are two ways to say "Greetings" in Luwian:
1. "Tarhunawalliya!" - This is a greeting that invokes the name of the Luwian god Tarhun. It can be translated as "May Tarhun be with you!" or "Hail Tarhun!"
2. "Annara!" - This is a general greeting that can be translated as "Hello!" or "Greetings!"
It's important to note that Luwian is an extinct language, and the knowledge of its grammar and vocabulary is limited to what has been uncovered through archaeological and linguistic research. Therefore, the pronunciation and usage of these phrases may not be 100% accurate.

This phrase was commonly used in offerings and prayers to ensure a bountiful harvest.
2. "Hapy n Ra, tAwy n Hapy." (Translation: "The Nile is a gift of God, the earth is a gift of the Nile.")

This phrase emphasizes the close relationship between the farmer and the crops they cultivate.

The Navajo Nation is a Native American territory located in the southwestern United States. It is the largest Native American tribe in the United States and covers over 27,000 square miles across parts of Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah. The Navajo Nation has a population of approximately 350,000 people, making it one of the most populous Native American tribes in the United States.
The Navajo Nation has a unique government structure, with a president, vice president, and tribal council. The tribal council is made up of representatives from each of the tribe's 110 chapters, and they are responsible for making decisions on behalf of the Navajo Nation.
The Navajo people have a rich culture and history, and their language, known as Diné bizaad, is still spoken by many members of the tribe. The Navajo are known for their weaving, pottery, and jewelry-making traditions, as well as their strong connection to the land and their deep respect for nature.
Today, the Navajo Nation is working to promote economic development and preserve its cultural heritage while also dealing with ongoing challenges such as poverty, health issues, and environmental concerns.
The Role of the Navajo Language in WW2
The Navajo language played a significant role in World War II as a code language that was used by the United States military. The Navajo Code Talkers were a group of Navajo Native Americans who were recruited by the Marine Corps to serve in the Pacific theater of the war.
The Navajo language was chosen for its complexity and the fact that it was not a written language, making it difficult for the Japanese to decipher. The Code Talkers developed a code based on the Navajo language that was used to transmit confidential messages during the war. The code was so effective that it was never broken by the Japanese.
The Code Talkers were able to transmit messages quickly and accurately, which was crucial in the fast-paced, high-pressure environment of the battlefield. Their work played a significant role in the success of many important battles, including the Battle of Iwo Jima.
Despite their contributions, the Code Talkers' role in the war was kept secret for many years after the war ended. It was not until the 1980s that their story began to be widely known, and they were acknowledged for their bravery and service to their country. Today, the Navajo Code Talkers are recognized as a vital part of American military history.

Who Are the Pawnee People?
The Pawnee are one of the Indigenous tribes of the Central Plains, historically centered in what is now Nebraska and Kansas. They were a confederacy of related bands, primarily the Chawi, Kitkahahki, Pitahawirata, and Skidi, each with their own ceremonial practices and leadership.
The Pawnee were both agricultural and nomadic, a dual lifestyle that allowed them to thrive for centuries. In the spring and early summer, they cultivated crops such as corn, beans, pumpkins, and squash in permanent village sites. In the late summer and fall, they organized hunting expeditions to follow the buffalo, which were central to their diet, clothing, tools, and spiritual life.
Sharitarish, a respected Pawnee chief
The Pawnee's spiritual beliefs were deeply tied to the stars and natural cycles. They conducted elaborate ceremonies to honor the Creator, the Evening Star, the Morning Star, and other celestial beings. These observances often dictated planting times, hunting seasons, and social duties.
Sadly, the 19th century brought devastating change. Epidemics of smallpox and cholera, combined with pressure from American expansion and intertribal conflict, drastically reduced the Pawnee population. By the late 1800s, they were forced onto a reservation in present-day Oklahoma.
Today, the Pawnee Nation of Oklahoma is a federally recognized tribe. Through language programs, cultural revitalization efforts, and intergenerational storytelling, the Pawnee continue to celebrate their identity, resilience, and heritage.
The Pawnee Language in The Revenant
Language plays a key role in cultural survival and visibility. In the 2015 Oscar-winning film The Revenant, viewers are introduced to a Pawnee character who speaks his native language. These moments are more than artistic flourishes—they’re acts of representation and reclamation.
The film's producers worked closely with Pawnee language consultants to ensure authentic usage. Each phrase spoken reflects accurate pronunciation and contextual meaning. By including Pawnee dialogue, the film brings historical realism to life while raising awareness about a language at risk of fading away.
This collaboration between Hollywood and Indigenous communities demonstrates the importance of respectful storytelling. It also shows how modern media can be used as a platform to educate global audiences about Native American languages and the cultures they represent.
Whether through cinema, educational programs, or community efforts, each step toward language revitalization brings us closer to preserving the voices of the past for generations to come.

Cuman is an extinct Turkic language that was spoken by the Cumans, a nomadic people who roamed the Eurasian steppe during the Middle Ages. Unfortunately, very few written records of the Cuman language have survived, and as a result, our knowledge of the language is limited. However, here are a few phrases in Cuman that have been reconstructed by linguists based on available evidence:
1. Salam - Hello
2. Süymen - I am here
3. Giderim - I go
4. Keldim - I came
5. Yaxşı - Good
6. Kötü - Bad
7. Yarış - Horse race
8. Kümüş - Silver
9. Tengri - God, sky
10. Alğa - Go away
Note that the spelling and pronunciation of these phrases may vary depending on the source and the specific dialect of Cuman being considered.
