The Destruction of 'Mankind'.

The study "The Destruction of 'Mankind'" by Sami Uljas examines the phonological changes of the word "rmT" (person) in Ancient Egypt. It is shown that the spelling of the word, which had been established by the end of the Old Kingdom, could only be adapted to phonological changes with difficulty. This led to two changes in the grammatical gender of the word over time, from masculine to feminine and finally back to masculine. It is argued that the alleged word "rmT-t" (humanity) never existed and that the supposed evidence for this word merely represents solutions to the discrepancy between the traditional spelling and the spoken form of the word "rmT".
