Welcome to RAT. Hope our roman ways dont put you off Egypt, we are always welcoming nubian auxiliaries (If there ever was such a thing lol)
Lol, not a chance - Egypt is eternal, Rome is just passing through...
I've borrowed my Roman name from a 1st century Alexandrian that was a member of the Classis Misenensis (Misene Fleet) for those that are interested.
Quote:welcome to RAT. Ancient Egypt is also one of my interests (busy learning to read hieroglyphs right now..). Great "eye of horus" avatar BTW
I taught myself the basic signs about 30 years ago and have forgotten most of them. I toyed with the idea of becoming an Egyptologist many years ago but I just didn't want to teach. Thanks on the avatar. It's off Wiki (and appears reasonably accurate!), just resized and recolored.
