I spend the hiatus learning about Ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphs. I have found many wonderful online Egyptian Hieroglyphic Dictionaries and online books. I can honestly say with 100% certainty that the translation is Summon Protection. If you wish to double check me, here are some links to some great information about deciphering the Hieroglyphics.

Gardiner's Sign List [14]
Ben's Secret Door ==================
Edit
The symbols are [15]
- A26 Man with out-stretched arm
- S29 Folded cloth
- M17 Reed
- N35 Water
- A24 Man with weapon
- W24 Container
- Aa27 Unclassified, but looks like a Cross
Translation
Edit
A26-S29-M17-N35 = Summon
A24-W24-Aa27 = Protection
Hieroglyphs in The Frozen Donkey Wheel/The Orchid ======================
Edit
On ABC.com and the new Season 4 DVD, there is an interview with Damon Lindeloff titled "Mysterious Egyptian Influences" There are several quick looks at the making of the Hieroglyphs in the"Frozen Donkey Wheel" room. I have taken some screencaps of the clip and have been playing around with the Hieroglyphs. Several I have deciphered and confirmed in Ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphic Dictionary that are online. Here is what I have come up with using Gardiner's Sign List [16]. Since I cannot be 100% certain of the transliteration, or if what we see on the S4DVD is what actually made it onto the walls in FDW, I do not want to put the interpretation on the main page. However, I think it needs to be thrown out for discussion.--Kansasgal71 17:22, 17 October 2008 (PDT)
