I'm astonished by Mohammed's -peace be upon him- great wide mind, that could :
1-Decipher ancient Egyptian language
2-Travel to Greece and learn there
3-Write in Arabic, despite him not knowing how to read or write
4-Learn in different languages, while he can't even write in his own language.
It all hinges on restrictive conditions and circular reasoning. I could author a book claiming it's from Allah and I'm illiterate and people didn't know I was literate they'd have to take my word for it. You don't need to be literate to smart; studies have shown the minds of illiterate people work differently to those who was literate .
One thing I will say is: Gondēshāpūr, Persia. Some of the Sahsbah went there. I'll link to some resources when I get home. Secondly, Muhammad didn't need to know Egyptian. I believe your statement about Egyptian relates to the Pharaoh.
There was a topic posted in December of 2013 about the Quranic use of the title Pharaoh:

MNMP I will comment to your povs, and to the rest, but I wanted to answer this first.
Some of the Sahaba "WERE" from there; Salman Al Faresy is one of them

He contributed with the idea of the trench in the failed invasion of Madina; in the siege that was well known as the battle of the trench. Trenches and such tactics were foreign to Arabs.
As for Ancient Egyptians..I didn't get you, that topic was interesting, but what I meant to say is that Mohammed existed in the era that hieroglyphic interpretation was lost:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_hieroglyphs
Quote:After the loss of the knowledge of hieroglyphic writing, the decipherment of hieroglyphs remained an enduring puzzle which would only be solved in the 1820s by Jean-Francois Champollion, with the help of the.
Quote:and continued to be used up until about 400 CE, when non-Christian temples were closed and their monumental use was no longer necessary.
Mohammed was born in the seventh century AD. hieroglyphs were out of business fir 200 years by then, it's not like the spread of knowledge was that easy.
Since harvesting iron from celestial projectiles is mentioned in ancient egyptian religion mainly.
As for the term pharoh, the Quran does contain foreign words; the book is for all of humanity after all. Pharoh, Taghut, Torah, Engeel (bible), Seggeel, Adan (Eden),...etc.
