It's a shame I'm not as smart as you are. Maybe if I were a little smarter I could have acquired the language by osmosis by now but, God help me, I'm just not that smart.

I've explained many times it's very hard for me to learn anything. It's not because I'm especially slow but because I refuse to learn it until it fits with all of my existing knowledge. If it's factual and i can't incorporate it then I reorganize all of my existing knowledge to make a place for it.

I don't think many people do this.

As hard as learning is for me, unlearning is ten times harder. Things just don't want to come out of concrete I use for a brain. It takes patience and a jackhammer.

Why would I want to try to learn "translation" that I know is wrong? I'd sooner cut off a hand.

This being said, I have laid some groundwork for a proper "translation" of Ancient Language. Many times I've posted what glyphs, sceptres, icons, and "symbols" really mean. There's a lot of hard work and heavy lifting to do the work of "translating" this and it's not the kind of task in which I excel. It's a job for smarter and more focused people than me. It's a job that requires skills I barely have. Meanwhile I have more interesting and important things to do. Remember I understand this so a good translation is secondary.

I've said many times that I'm always amazed that Egyptologists are usually right in a left handed sort of way. I am amazed because they are so wrong it should be virtually impossible to be right in any sort of way. I've also said if Egyptologists paid the slightest attention to me then they'd see that I am usually right in a left handed sort of way. From their perspective this, too, should be impossible.

Manu is apparently one of the most knowledgeable people in the subject (at least he can astound me), so maybe he sees how I'm right and is trying to learn how. It's called "curiosity" for those who already have all the answer so have quit seeking.
