MW Egyptian Hieroglyph
This is the hieroglyph MW WATER.
MW functioned as both a biliteral, a sign representing two sounds, and as a semantic determiner / classifier placed in a group of signs to indicate the word was expressing a concept involving water and liquids.
This one is a present copyright free for you to download. I may also place it on Deviant Art so visit me there too?

Iron Man 3 oh those robots
What I'm reviewing a movie?
Why?
Well if you love good design and robots fess up how many of us watched the Iron man movies just for those robotic armor suits?
Plus the Iron Man series actually manages to depict the design process from initial concept to finished product and gives you some idea of the work and stress involved whether you have access to an array of high tech or whatever you can scavenge from a junk yard spare parts a garage or a hardware store.
Go on watch it! you know you love those suits!
and the SFX too!
oh an done semi spoiler you'll work out why Ben Kingsley was willing to play the Mandarin when you meet TREVOR!

Post 150! Hieroglyphs
Wow Post 150 on Glyphika!
This is a book on Hieroglyphics you may enjoy and find useful for self study or teaching at several levels? It's a simple straight forward introduction to the glyphs and includes some basic grammar with examples drawn from actual monuments. Do look for it. Its modern approach will be a relief if you have only previously had access to reprints of Budge's work or found Gardiner's book on Middle Egyptian more suitable for advanced college students?
If you really have some knowledge of this area you may find this compact sturdy hardback a readable useful size and format for revision and reference.

| Copyright Julie Vaux 2013 I've added three new designs to Red Bubble using a Lest We Forget theme recently. www.redbubble.com/people/scholara/clothing
One has a reference to Anzac Day and the second can be used for events of remembrance other than Anzac Day. Ignore the blank Bg. The Tees come in various colors!
