ink sS ikr n Dba=f
ink kAry wAD n Dba=f
ptr rn=i

thats the transliteration for the glyphs (the bit to get to the translation)

I've translated it as:

I am the King's backbone (literally: spinal cord)
I am the love of my Father
I suckle the ford bull
*
The scribes of the old times of Egypt hand over to the mouth of Egypt
I made the plants grow together with the sycamore
I am the trustworthy scribe of his fingers
I am the great green gardener of his finger
Who/What is my name?

the * relates to a line I have in transliteration and in a dodgy english translation. What I have is "the multitude of scribes to me"

never the less i get the solution as The River Nile as it would be all these things. Though when I am in uni next week I can always check it in the library with Urk IV.

Nice one!

Picked that one up, thought 'bugger that looks hard', then tried the red 'easy' one.

[SOLVED] #219 Black - The Master of Secrets

The hieroglyphs translate to a riddle. Wont bore you with the transliteration and my engrish translation but it talks about being the kings backbone, suckle of the ford bull, making plants grow and being the mouth of Egypt. The whole text seems to be taken from Urk IV if anyone cares. solved the riddle as
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
the river Nile


if anyone would like the full transliteration and translation tell me and i'll post it

Edit: Topic - Wishi-san
