Do you mean heiroglyphics [sp?]? I doubt anyone here can read that. But maybe you can take a course for it. However, I doubt you'll be fluent in one course. Try like, 13.

Heheh, same.

Hmm...in 6th grade they gave us this handout with some sort of hieroglyphs and how the hieroglyphs are pronounced, so when you put them together, they make up a word. I lost the handout though, eek pinch.gif

We had an acient egypt day before at our school for our class.. When I was in year 3 which made me 7 ohmy.gif

I'm guessing hieroglyphics would be kinda hard to read. blink.gif Since I doubt anyone knows the meaning for each one I spose

For some weird reason this topic reminds me of that show Yu-Gi-Oh. Aha.

No. I don't know how to read egyptian or w/e. Looks highly complicating though.

The only time I was exposed to ancient egyptian times was when I did a school project about mummines and like the procedures and stuff. . .

I made a mummified chicken biggrin.gif lol. . .

But to answer to your question no. No idea at all. . . Might I suggest googling search it?

ahhh i made a mummified chicken in science last year hahaha

i dunno hieroglyphics, (bleh i spelled it wrong) but i wrote my name in heiroglyphics last year while studying mummies.. and there was a sheet on it with all the letters.... bleh i lost it >_>;

wow, I'm so glad someone made a topic on this _smile.gif
I though I was going through just a phase, but I am obsessed with learning about ancient egypt. I want to learn how to read the symbols. The Mummy and The Mummy Returns are two of my favorite movies.

I worked on an art project a couple years ago, it involved creating an life-size frontal graphic of a sarcophagus. It was fun. That involved some heiroglyphs.
