Inscriptions showing early hieroglyphic writing discovered at site south of Luxor

An archaeological mission from Yale University has discovered a new rock inscription site near the village of El-Khawy near Luxor, during their excavation work on the Elkab Desert Survey Project in collaboration with the Ministry of Antiquities. The inscriptions range in date from the early Predynastic Period, which spanned approx. 4,000 to 3,500 BC, through to the Old Kingdom (approx. 2,686 BC to 2181 BC).

LOL Good example of a web "journalist" not knowing the subject and using stock photography to dress things up. The rock inscription in Mystic's post clearly belongs to Ramesses II. The cartouches say (top-left) User-maat-re Mery-Amun (one of Ramesses' throne names), and (center-right) Ramessesu Heka-Iunu (one of his birth names, an early version). Beautifully cut. The rest of the inscription advertises an electronics sale at Best Buy. ;)

Seriously, another great article, Claire. Then again, most anything Egypt is going to catch my eye. It goes to show how much there still is out there to find in the desert.
