Coffin hieroglyphs
Can anyone translate the hieroglyphs on this coffin panel? I feel like most of the black signs are clearly readable but I didn't get very far with Fabricius or any other tool.

Hi, so I'm trying to create a sentence in ancient Egyptian, please tell me if this sentence is grammatically correct, beacouse I'm losing my sanity over this sentence (The meaning should be something like "x said to y: hello" please, I spended too many hours of my life creating this)

Hi All,
This is posted with the consent of one of the Mods here in r/EgyptianHieroglyphs. Please note that no AI Slop was used or harmed in the making of this App! Neither was any AI agent used in coding.
Nearly every day someone in this /sub or one of the other Egypt-related subs is requesting a βtranslationβ of a piece of jewelry which is usually a name. Of course, the jewelry is actually a phonetic spelling of an English name or word, not an actual ancient Egyptian word.
There are also plenty of requests by folks who want to design a tat or artwork for a story.
There are a bunch of web sites and apps which can do simple conversions to glyphs. But none of them do it the way an Egyptian scribe would! These simple converters use whatβs called the Egyptian alphabet which are just 20 or so single consonants. But Egyptians loved economy and efficiency. There are literally hundred of glyphs which represent two or three consonant sounds at a time and Egyptians loved to use them! Egyptians were also extremely fond of stacking glyphs together to save space, but the simple apps donβt do this.
Aviametrix just built an app which creates phonetic names the way we think an Egyptian would. Using the great databases created for the Aviametrix dictionaries, the app has about 700 hieroglyphs (biliterals and triliterals) for different spellings which all sound the same for a given name or word. You can then pick the version which most appeals to you and export it. Along the way, the app teaches you a little bit about the different glyphs.
The App is in the Apple AppStore and itβs called βSpell it in Hieroglyphsβ. If there is enough interest, Aviametrix may try an Android version.

My brother took a vacation in Egypt and brought me back this papyrus artwork of Thoth. I tried plugging it into Google to translate and got "Thoth lord of Hermopolis, lord of the divine words".
Is that correct? I don't trust AI without at least trying to verify with a person.

I don't trust anything that looks like this (plus it came from some random insta account). I believe it comes from the maxims of ptahhotep and I found a selection online with parallel texts but it wasn't exactly the same. I found further hieroglyphs on other sites for the quotation that likewise were different.

I would like some help translating some hieroglyphs from an episode of the T.V. show LOST. If anyone has watched it, these are screenshots from season 6 episode 5 "Lighthouse," and take place in Jacob's lighthouse for reference.
I took a screenshot of the whole line of text as well as a couple that show a better close up of the beginning and end of the line. Due to camera angles, these are the clearest shots of the text I could get, and the last hieroglyph is cut off in the third picture.
Thanks!

I wanted to get a tattoo done in hieroglyphs and was wondering if anyone could help me make sure it is correct since it would obviously be permanent (and I only had one semester of hieroglyphics). I wanted to get Nefertiti's name done *nfr.t-α»ty*, but not as a cartouche, as the phrase "the beauty has come," and was not sure how it would look. I've seen her name written in a couple different ways.Β
I am just not sure which route to go, so any help would be greatly appreciated and not an expert by any means. Thanks!

The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City has one of the largest collections of Egyptian Art in the World, outside Egypt. The Museumβs Egyptian Art department has been heavily involved in excavations and research for over 100 years, making many major contributions to our understand of ancient Egyptian culture.
Reddit is full of conspiracy nonsense and other unsupported drivel about Egypt. I thought I would share a link to the Metβs publications pages for Egypt where many books are available for free download. Enjoy!
