I was looking at the heiroglyphs painted on the mummys cases at the week end its meant to be a story of how there death happened tell me if you find out why they all have like dogs heads and birds is that just as they beleived they had some kind of relgious aspect like the american indian have. I like the eygipian stuff especially as know one can explain the how they built the piramids, makes me think of ideas that they were from another planet. You know the coffin like thing in indian jones they actually existed and could levitate etc raiders of the lost arc is it. spooky

Yeh it is pretty tricky but really interesting! First off, they didnt use any vowels so you have to get rid of them first - so like to write (draw) redneck - it would be "rdnck" and the heiroglyphs to spell that are pictures of : mouth, hand, water, basket (cant draw them here) then you have to add a thing to show if it's a male or female - I mean that is a very simple example! If I persevere praps I can get a job with Indiana Jones har har!! It would be good if you could get a kid's version of the book I have, I reckon that kids would love writing their names in heiroglyphs!!!! Red ps - gotta be Hobnobs for mmmmm

I learned Egyptian Hieroglyphs too! ;D
-how crazy is that!...
i was disturbed to find out that my name, matt (mt) in hieroglphics is a picture of a "penis, with emission of fluid"
the dogs heads and birds heads, are the forms of egyptian gods such as Thoth and Anubis.
