Christian Jacq
Christian Jacq (; born April 28, 1947) is a French author and Egyptologist. He has written several novels about ancient Egypt, notably a five book series about pharaoh Ramses II, a character whom Jacq admires greatly.
Biography.
Born in Paris, Jacq's interest in Egyptology began when he was thirteen, when he read "History of Ancient Egyptian Civilization" by Jacques Pirenne. This inspired him to write his first novel. By the time he was eighteen, he had written eight books.
The term "Khom" is also used to refer to the Ancient Khmer lettering used in Thailand's Buddhist temples to inscribe sacred Buddhist mantras and prayers, but that is an entirely different script.
The script could be used to write various Bahnaric languages, including the Laven dialects, especially Jru', and languages like Alak, Ong Kommadam's native language.
