[Salima Ikram] "This is a teeny weeny little pharaonic inscription here (see photo, right). It's a very crudely carved inscription--you can see 'coming' and then 'Nefru,' which is beautiful, and then this is man with his hand to his mouth. It's a glyph again. Who the hell knows what's going on there." |

Scratched out fish.
It looks like the bug crawling on my basement wall last nite.
Very interesting article, esp. concerning the number of "p*nis" vs. vag**a drawings they found on the rocks.
They should check the soil for evidence of urine and feces in that area. It sounds like scribblings on the bathroom wall. ;-)
The inscription sounds like the name of Nefertiti, "the beautiful [one] has come" or "she comes in beauty".
"Scratched out fish."
That could explain all the... uh, never mind.
