		Egyptian and Near Eastern antiquities have long been a focus of Emory University's Museum of Art and Archaeology, now known as the Michael C. Carlos Museum.
		The Museum was fortunate to have recently acquired a unique collection of ancient Egyptian mummies and coffins and related artefacts from a small, private museum in Niagara Falls, Canada.
		Closer inspection of the inscriptions on the coffins by Joyce Haynes, who specializes in deciphering ancient Egyptian funerary texts, revealed that the coffin had been reused, and Tahat's names had been partially erased and replaced with the name of a woman named Taaset.

	The Language of Ancient Egypt
		Describing the development of Egyptian civilization, like attempts to identify its intellectual foundations, is largely a process of conjecture based on archaeological discoveries of enduring ruins, tombs, and monuments, many of which contain invaluable specimens of ancient Egyptian culture.
		Ideograms signify either the specific object drawn or something closely related to it; for example, a picture of the sun may mean “sun” or “day”; phonograms, or sound signs, were used purely for their phonetic value and have no relationship to the word they are used to spell.
		The stone was inscribed in 196 BC with a decree praising the Egyptian king Ptolemy V. Because the inscription appears in three scripts, hieroglyphic, demotic, and Greek, scholars were able to decipher the hieroglyphic and demotic versions by comparing them with the Greek version.

	Discovery of Egyptian Inscriptions Indicates an Earlier Date for Origin of the Alphabet

		While these inscriptions received much attention at first, the concept that these inscriptions were made by the Hebrews of the Exodus was summarily rejected by most scholars merely because they are most commonly known from the Bible.
		Examiners concluded that, as the inscriptions had survived in such good shape for as long as the locals could recall in the dry, hot climate they could easily have survived since the time that the Exodus in thought to have occurred.

		I meant to say they were a form of Egyptian or maybe a reformed Egyptian, so in that they are not pure Egyptian you are right......
		The egyptian words for water, walking, head and enclosure are almost identical as some of these signs: BUT these are ideograms (or determinatives), denoting an idea like water with a symbol which looks similar to what it represents - so the similareties are in human nature - not in conections in time and space...
