I have tried but dont know which end to start. I have tried and haven't been so successful. But I have found this maybe this will help... http://www.virtual-egypt.com/newhtml/hie... Dude, I've heard of being bored before, but you just took it to a new level. I used to work in a museum and I'm by no means an Archaeologist or Egyptologist. What you have to understand about trying to "read" hieroglyphics is that it is by no means a clean translation like we're used to between our languages. I was taught a thing or two and was told it takes a lot longer to learn to read them than any other language. Mayan texts used hieroglyphics that a twelve year old was able to decode texts that had mostly baffled the experts. Can't recall his name, but it was a Harvard project that published the work. |
