O25:O41:O25 = DOOR TO THE HEAVENS (or DOOR TO ASCEND)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We have found the monolith glyphs on every university in the land. This leads me to believe that they are just art and NOT important for solving the VoK mystery. See the attached files for images from a Uworship... some of our mystery glyphs are clearly visible. the Ktisbos glyphs remain a mystery, and this page will remain up for any other hieroglyphic mysteries to come. ~ThePheonix
Monolith information
All numbers here refer to Gardiner code, a comprehensive way to codify hieroglyphs. The program OpenGlyph and Hieropreter found by ThePheonix are great and a must have for anyone wanting to look into these images.The Monolith in Valley of the Kings, have two sets of images, we use the left side to ensure consitant information and flow of work is preformed, however the right side is useful to us. The right side is a mirror image of what is stated on the right side. So for example the Top-Left is mirrored to the Bottom-Right set, and the Bottom-Left is mirrored to the Top-Right set.
Only the Left sets is translated (even thou the Top-Right set is the correct direction for the Bottom-Left.) Also, it is likely that the entire tablet is meant to be read together, so be sure to examine not only meanings for the top left, but also the top-left connected to the top-right.
Top-Left set
Top and one of the following numbers refers to the symbol in this slot:| 1 | 2 |
| 3 | 4 |
| 5 | 6 |
| 7 | |
Gardiner Code
| D58 | Q7 |
| x1 | V31 |
| M17:M17 | O24:N26 |
| N35:N35 | |
- Top 2 - V4 vs Q7:
- V4 starts on the right side, curves over to the left, and has the symbol on the end of the left curved side [source Hieropreter]. Q7 starts on the left side and curves over to the right with the symbol on the end of the right side. I vote that the battle goes to Q7. ~ AnokFero
- Q7 can mean:
- Fire (xt)
- Hot/Warmth (tA)
- Roast/Cook (psj)
- [Abbreviation of] Temperature (srf)
- Fire Island (nsrsr / jw-nsrsr)
- Candle
- Also seen this in such things as Holy Fire, or Holy light; something holy any ways.
- Temple like Glyphs:
- N7
- O24
- U28:U29
- W5
- X8
Bottom-Left set
Bottom and one of the following numbers refers to the symbol in this slot:| 1 | 2 |

| 5 | |
There is no Gardiner Code for the missing symbol, but it is known, it has been seen before!

A few more notes about reading hieroglyphics.
Often read right to left, not left to right.
Sentance structure is Verb Subject Object Adverb, so: I hit him is wrong, hit I him is right.
Adjectives tend to follow the noun, not preceed it: blue ball is wrong, ball blue is right.

KTISBOS GLYPHS
Just was at Ktisbos' camp, and found several barrels covered in glyphs... some of them very clear and prominent.
Glyphs are, from left to right
V26 D58, G37, N18 (plural)
Which translates to...
best fit is "rejoice, humpback commoners!"
Something Ktisbos would say... but... not helpful.
Another possibility involves placing sheet metal in... something..
There's also another barrel COVERED in glyphs... see attachments.
