Being an egyptologist and big fan of your art, I already feel spoilt by this new webcomic. I think I have an idea what Ahmose is interested in, but won’t spoil it to others can’t wait to see where it leads…
whoops, i hope you don’t mind that most of the hieroglyphics in this comic are basically just hieroglyph lorem ipsum mashed together from various references i have at hand, since i don’t actually read or write ancient egyptian, but also don’t want to just wing it and make up characters since that always looks terrible
the cartouche on this page is both correct and significant, though
I got that from the Greek but it looks like it fits the cartouche too.
To be honest, it was the cartouches on this and the previous page that caught my attention. Using real signs is so much better than some invented ones! And weird as they are, egyptologists don’t expect everybody to know hieroglyphs.
