Various Texts II

Warning: In this section I present various texts in literal transliteration that is to say the word is displayed as it is written and NOT as it should be written. The transliteration of reference usually does already exist and will be mentioned when known to me. My purpose is to give to the reader a tool helping him to read faster and catch easier the essence of each word. Comparison of both transliterations reveals in full the Ancient Egyptians' stenographical way of writing.
