  1. 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.
