Sacerdotisa ibérica basada en la Dama de Elche. This portrait is part of a project called Maˈtʼuww. Maˈtʼuww is Middle Egyptian for «writing scripts». Maˈtʼuww is a project involving linguistics, history, and art to show how connected we are as humans by featuring Egyptian hieroglyphs, which almost all of today’s writing scripts are descended from. The goal of maˈtʼuww is to portray the phylogenetic relationship of Egyptian hieroglyphs and her descendant scripts, and allow a visual comparison between letters, while backing this up with evidence wherever possible. Although maˈtʼuww is not the first project to attempt writing script comparison, it attempts to do so holistically as the nature of academia promotes specialisation that limits the broader picture of this area of interest. The «Iberian priestess based on Dama de Elche» was drawn to represent writers of the Iberian script (descended from Phoenician, which is directly related to Egyptian Hieroglyphs) to give a human face behind the writing script.
