ok i did get this page on wiki and - but ond’t remember if it has anything to do with the book of dead

but i can see some of the hieroglyph symbols used on the othee pic - interesting
but what is the menaing of theses symbols wold be interesting too

what is the web site for this Pic ?

the ori for the book of the dead can be found at theses sites


but even theoriginal as shown seems to be blurred and difficult to read
unless there is a better version somewhere whch i did not see yet
if anybody has a better pic for this i wold be helpfull

alsoi did check out teh Gardiners list of symbols ( > 500 ) and did not see some of the hieroglyph shown on this book of the dead picture

so i’m not certaij what the meaning is and how to draw theses synbols !

anothere thing that the night broght me is the fact that the book of dead was written very late in the history of egyp and might no be hieroglyph per say but more hieretci language!
but i’ll check more on this !

Thanks

@RickyBlender: the position of the symbols indicate different words/pronunciation depending on the language. I don’t know what they mean.

Probably this is too much already…
On this one the hieroglyph that you’re asking for, looks differently - it’s like a bird or a dog
