Hello all,

Just received this morning two Calls for Papers, one from CITE2025.org and one from CSEAI.org

These two Web sites look very similar.
Two questions:

Are they famous?

Are these "virtual" conferences serious?

Thank you.

Hi there, I'm new at scientific publications and hear that "you all" use LaTex.

Is this mandatory in the field? (yes, I do know it is for the Journal of Machine Learning Research) or is a clean Word to PDF process inuf if I never use math formulas?

Thanks.

Hello. I’ve had this all my life. Just recently refound it while looking for my iPad stylus. It’s a broach.

Does this mean anything or is it gibberish?

Hi there,

Just published a Paper on Computer-Aided Hieroglyphs Translation.

FYI.

what’s everyone’s personal thoughts/information about this symbol, sema tawy?

My sister got this for me while in Egypt but curious what it says

Have had this for ages, just found it again in an old box. I used to know what it said, but I don't remember. Anyone have advice or a translation?

What is the difference between ꜥꜣ and wr? Both mean "great" or "important" but is there a rule or something that you follow for when using the one rather than the other? Or are both just synonyms meaning the same thing?

Can anyone help me figure out who’s name is in this cartouche? I bought this ring in antique store and I believe it’s probably vintage from 1920’s or 1930’s.

Part of a game I'm playing. I don't know how to translate it

Hey all, new here and relearning stuff. Does anyone know if I could write either "pride" or "hubris" in some sort of way? For a tattoo idea. Despite my best efforts I can't seem to find anything.

I have the same inscription on a ring also, wondering what it means

Hieroglyphs amateur here, I'm putting out an album soon and I'd like to paint the name in hieroglyphs as part of the cover. The album is called Paper Gods, using sḫrt:

𓋴𓐍𓂋 𓏏𓍼𓏺

and nfrw:

𓊹𓏼

respectively (please excuse the transliteration). Only problem is, I'm not sure if nouns can be used as adjectives in ancient Egyptian the same way they can in English. I think the syntax would be fine with a normal adjective, but can sḫrt be used in the same way? Also, if anybody has a better word for a sheet of papyrus, please let me know. The dictionary I was referring to did not have any literal translations.

Hello all, I’ve had these beautiful earrings for many years and I’ve tried finding out what they could say translated to English but to no avail. Also, my resources have not been reliable- such as the internet. I’m just curious about them, and love them dearly. Thank you for any insight.

I have been trying to translate and decode this gold piece of jewelry that was passed down to my daughter and I can only get a few letters.... does someone want to help me try to figure out what it says??? Would really appreciate it!!!

Hi all

Looking for advice, always been super intrigued by ancient Egypt and Hieroglyphs. I finally want to understand them better (just as a hobby). Any webpages or books that anyone can recommend that explains the symbols and meanings (almost like a dictionary in a way, I know it won't be like that and that the symbols can get difficult to explain as a one liner, but hopefully you get what I mean).

Hopefully a book or something that makes it fun to read/study?

Any help appreciated

Hi everyone,
I'm curious about Egyptian hieroglyphs and how they are written. Is it possible to write a line of hieroglyphs vertically (top to bottom) instead of horizontally (left to right) without altering its meaning? Or would this affect how it's read or interpreted? For example, the sentence:
"I am Yesterday and Tomorrow; I can be born twice" (jnk sf dwꜣ.w ms.t=j m sp 2).

Would writing this vertically affect its meaning or how it’s interpreted? Thanks for your insights!

Need help with the bit in red please!!

Another photo of a sarcophagus I took. I feel myself becoming more confident in understanding the gist/being able to pick apart important words. But I would like to see what other more experienced people think. Continue reading if you want my amateur, “been doing this for two weeks” interpretation:

I got the right column in black (where it begins with “words spoken by lord of khemennu, which I assume to be Thoth) kind of understood? There’s bits about maybe lord of priests… then about protecting the deceased. I saw the word for eye above what I think is the word for Horus? Then I think we have the name of the deceased written somewhere on the coffin as well due to what looks the word for “son” in places.

The red middle goes on about offerings of cloth, meat, fowl, all things that are pure.

The leftmost column has me stumped.
