yeah sorry i saw it too late,

dammit  had it half interpreted when I found out I was beaten to it !!!

I had 3 lines translated before somone got it. Congrats to @Kaynide for translating it. It was a clever challenge.I had to look at some old things called books that were in my house I kept from a thing called a school back in the day. made me realize how much I missed the study of culture. Hope they challenge us more like that. It was a great dossier entry and beautiful artwork on the tablet. 10/10 ! Clever Devs. wonder who's idea it was.

Hey, I can't follow any of these links.... would somebody mind copy and pasting the translation on this thread, thanks!

The translation is in the main article now. Reload your browser to see the updated picture. 

omg, egypt is my favorite when it comes to history and mythology. +_+ hype

There have been a lot of questions on Twitter about how I did the translation, so I figure I would post somehwere people can see it (and with a larger character limit in a post)

So first I just grabbed a general cheat sheet for the heiroglyphs showing their English equivalents and just started writting in notepad as I got the letters.   A lot of them do not match traditional glyphs (the W or U bird was actually a U or a V), and C and K were the same glyph. ("Can" and "Know" use the same glyph.)

Finally, I had a lot of fun with IS (feather-staff) and Y(feather-feather).  They look similar, but different enough to get it.  ..though to be fair I started the translation with "thy" instead of "this"... was a huge mess until I figured  it out.  Also, some glyphs I just had to guess at based on spelling, which unlocked more glyphs (beautiful and obelisk were big helps).

Finally, some of the characters are mirrored (the first arm E, the A in Amon-Ra).  I thought it might spell a secret word, but it looks like they show capitalization.

Would love to see more of this kind of thing, maybe even less text, but with the story of other "npc" survivors.
