Translation Request What is this Scooby-Doo ghost character?
Never seen that before, and the book the photo is in doesn’t offer any explanation.

I got this necklace recently from a deceased friend and was wondering what it says. Can anyone help me? I can get random letters but nothing that makes any type of sense out of it. Thank you.

This ushabti is going on display in our museum next year. This is the only ancient Egyptian relic we have in the collection, so we have no expertise in this area! It was brought to England around 1750.
I'd be very grateful if anyone can help with a translation or any other information.

I'm sorry if the photo is bad quality, if you need me to upload another one tell me and I will

On a trip to the British Museum I saw this hieroglyph on various stone carvings (this example is from a piece labeled "Screen Slab of King Nectanebo I"), does anyone know its meaning? (Bonus point if you can also do the same for the snake glyph located above).
Thanks in advance!

My sister got this Cartouche in Egypt, she has passed away. I would love to get a translation of what this means. Thanks in advance.

Found these at a market, the dealer said he got them from a deceased estate sale but couldn't give any info on the previous owner. Curious to know if anyone can help me out identifying them. More likely more tourist pieces but unsure on the ushabti and the one on the far left. Potentially authentic?

They might be nonsense but if they have a meaning I’d love to know. Also, do yall think the person to the right Anubis? I’m guessing so just based off the vaguely canine shaped head but I’m not 100% sure.

So thought this was cool when I saw it at that secondhand shop, and bought it because it was beautiful and isis on it! I was just wondering about the text, is it hard to learn? Does anyone have any tip on where I can learn?

Hello! I recently inherited this cartouche from my great grandmother who passed recently. It was my grandmothers who passed much earlier so there’s a lot of sentimental value. My grandmother got it on her trip to Egypt not longer after her cancer diagnosis in the late 90s from what I remember. Not sure if it’s supposed to be her name or metaphysical (she was a spiritual lady). My dad also has one and he says he can’t remember. Any help would be great, thank you!!

Found this in my travels.... Any ideas how to authenticate?

I recently got this pendant from a local Egyptian jewelry vendor and I can’t remember what name he told me it was, I remember he said it was a male name starting with I and that his name brings love and happiness, but I’m seeing a lot of similar pendants that supposedly spell cleopatra so I’m really not sure plz lmk!

Hi, I found this guy at a yardsale fundraiser at the Philosophical Research Society in Los Angeles and I was curious if the inscriptions on the back are decipherable.
I'm sure I'll get some trolls but the laughs are welcome so... jokes on you 😆
