[QUOTE]Originally posted by Myra Wysinger: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Clyde Winters: [qb] Hi Myra It didn't take that long to decipher the stela because most of the funerary inscriptions are formulaic in that they have a specific pattern in which they are written. The Offering Tablets have the following pattern: 1. Invocation to the Gods 2. Name of deceased 3. Sometimes, the name of relative making the offering of the deceased person 4. The wish statement of the deceased requesting his/her passage to rebirth. Often Anubis & Nephtys are depicted on the stela or tablet pouring libations. I would estimate that it took me around 30-60 minutes to read the text. First I have to transliterate the text. This takes the most time because I am usually reading the text from photographs in books since I don't have access to the original text. [/qb][/QUOTE]Greetings: That is VERY informative. Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions Dr. Winters. Due to your translations, [past and present], I've been able to spot names of the Meroitic royal family to further my research. ;) [/QB][/QUOTE]
