Mick Pearce (MCP) Lyr Req: can anybody read Egyptian hieroglyphics? (23) RE: Lyr Req: can anybody read Egyptian hieroglyphics? 11 Aug 18


"A six-column hieroglyph, painted against a yellow background, is placed above the figures. The column on the far left refers to Ra- Horakhty and reveals the identity of the god: "Ra-Horakhty, the great god, lord of the sky." The other five columns refer to the harpist. They contain the start of a hymn to the sun: "Adore Ra when he rises," followed by the title and name of the harpist: "the singer of Amun, lord of the thrones of the Two Lands [Egypt], who resides in Thebes, Djedkhonsuiuefank" as well as an offering formula."
