I guess I didn't work with the glyphs for a loooong time... I can't translate even 1/10 off the top of my head :)

oh neat you can read hieroglyphics normally? I have no idea what it says, but I find it pretty lol

Well, if by "normally" you mean having studied them once and being able to make heads or tails without a dictionary, then yes :)

I totally don't get their math, though. It's more complex than half the stuff you study when you are math major...

And yeah, they are really pretty. I'd love to see you try drawing something in their general style (I don't know if that's your cup of tea, though, as you shade your images beautifully, and they did mostly "flat" colors).

I am actually thinking about doing something close to this style, it's been a while since I have done anything like this so I will definitively have to try my hand at it

If you decide to, I can *try* helping with the inscriptions so they at least won't mean something awful... But as I said, I'm pretty rusty...

well thank you ^_^ and when I get finally do I will try to come up with something meaningful to go on as the writting

So is this authentic stuff carted away from Egypt? Or is this imitation stuff? If it's real, then I'd be sooo stoked at being able to see this stuff ^.=.^ I'm an Egyptian arts and artifact fan

Most of the items at the museum was real ^_^ the only picture of a replication that I post is the stone slab with the pharaoh on it

Oh wow ^.=.^ that's amazing! I've never witnessed with my own eyes, authentic Egyptian artifacts before!

you have to do it someday, it's an entire new experience

I absolutely adore Egyptology! I was sending my mom's notes using the hieroglyphic alphabet when I was like 6! XD But she had like the 'Book of the Dead' (not the real one obviously) and books about Egyptian Magick and there were always big colorful pictures of the gods and goddesses in there and I always drew them. I should start drawing some Egyptian things again ^^ thankee for photos of inspiration! <3

Any time ^_^ <3

I know, I am thinking about drawing the Egyptian gods and goddesses now, lol maybe I could do pin-up X3

that would be cool! I used to draw 'em all bland and what not - now that i've been drawing a lot more I should definitely so somethin smexy with 'em

You should :D <3

I did do on of anubis a while back - i wonder if i posted it or not - becuase if i didn't i totally should <3

That is a really neat picture. <3 Are you going to ink and color it :3

I'm thinkin I should at least ink it - i dug it up and i was like 'eewwww smudgy pencil is smudgy' :/ I may colour it ... o0o maybe i'll paint it! *ponders* :3

you totally should paint it :D

did this one too, well i redrew it and in the process of painting - hopefully if i work on it today, it should be done! :D

I like what you did with it <3

thankyaaa! <3

damn, i can't really understand hieroglyphics

don't worry most people can't ^_~

so now, the question is how do we learn egyptology?

the Rosetta stone?

well egyptology is just the study of egypt and it's mythology, the royal lineage and whatnot - the real rosetta stone is how archeologists deciphered what the hieroglyphics mean - and chances are if that rosetta stone program for computers has a hieroglyphic one, i'm pretty sure that would be of use! :D for everything else - books and teh internetz X3

lol I was sorta being a butt with my answer, because the original Rosetta Stone is how we know who to read what we can read now in hieroglyphics.... now I want to know if the Rosetta language program has a hieroglyphics section... because I would be all over that <3

that's what i was going for toooo XD i wonder if the program has one... if not - that's just not right T_T

lol true that :3

wow...easy and complex... O.O

^^

Yay, Anubis! ^_^

Wootage even <3^_^

Indeed! He's my favorite of the Egyptian gods. ^_^

He is my favorite as well <3 My fave as far as the goddesses has to be Bast though <3 *should do more art of both of them*

Yes, Bast is also quite awesome. =3

Anupu yay!

Indeed ^^
