The Prince was kind and benevolent, follower of the SunGod Ra. I, NEFER-DJESEB, Son of KHUFU, king of Upper and Lower Egypt (beloved by Ptah), has brought the god SUTI. My fellow Egyptians call out from this place in this strange land for the god SUTI. Engraved for the Crown of Lower Egypt, according to God’s word. FOR HIS HIGHNESS, THE PRINCE, from this wretched place in this land, where we were carried by ship. This "translation" was created by Ray Johnson, from Queensland, Australia, and Hans-Dieter von Senff. Khufu's children are fairly well documented, so it doesn't make sense that there are no records of these two specifically. These two princes are not mentioned in any sources outside the context of the Gosford Glyphs as having existed, much less being King Khufu's sons. Then prince Nefer-Djesed and the ship's crew mummified and buried Nefer-Ti-Ru in between the walls that the glyphs are carved on. Then, Nefer-Ti-Ru was bitten by a snake twice and died from the poison. Two Egyptian princes, Nefer-Djeseb and Nefer-Ti-Ru, sons of Khufu (king of Upper and Lower Egypt), sailed eastward for eight months until they reached land. The story of the glyphs, according to the following translation, is as follows: This statement has been disproved by most Egyptologists, whom agree that whoever carved the Gosford Glyphs actually didn't have much knowledge of the glyphs due to their disorganized nature and the varying chronology of the glyphs. Some pseudo-Egyptologists, such as Mohamed Ibrahim, who studied "(Ancient Egyptian, Coptic, Islamic) Art and history at Helwan University in Cairo", and Yousef Abd’el Hakim Awyan, who "studied ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs his entire life" but has no formal Egyptology education, argue that the glyphs must be real because they show an extensive knowledge of glyphs, even beyond the knowledge of translating software. In addition, if only some of the glyphs had been on the walls 5,000 years ago, then the pseudoarchaeological story that has been constructed around the glyphs would have been incomplete, so not possible that any of the glyphs were carved 5,000 years ago. ![]() Įven in the unlikely scenario that some of the glyphs on the western wall had been carved 5,000 years ago, the recent additions to those glyphs and the eastern wall would make it extremely difficult, if not impossible, to prove. In a letter they state that one of the park officers caught someone adding cartouches to the wall with a chisel. The most recent documentation of the glyphs being added to is from the New South Wales National Parks and Wildlife Service. He noted that "the glyphs had only recently been carved due to the lack of lichen growth in the carved grooves and the visual appearance of spalling chips around the symbols" The glyphs were also added to in the 1980, which is known because of David Lambert, a rock art expert who examined them in 1983. There have been several other documented changes to the glyphs, including additional lines being carved into the glyph of Anubis' ears. In the first documented report of the glyphs " Dash investigated the site and noticed some hieroglyphs carved along the western wall of sandstone, although at the time nothing was carved into the eastern wall." It is known from more recent documentation and photos that there are now glyphs on the eastern wall, so those must have been added since the 1970s when Alan Dash first made his report on the glyphs. įrom the initial discovery of the glyphs, changes have been made to them over periods of Egyptologists and enthusiasts alike checking and documenting them. Some archaeologists have proposed that they may be from Australian soldiers who had been in the area based on other occurrences of "Egyptian" writing and culture being created by Australian soldiers in the area. The glyphs were analyzed by many qualified experts and most, if not all, of them have come to the conclusion that the glyphs at Kariong are not genuine Egyptian hieroglyphs. Dash returned to the site a few times and found new additions to the glyphs each time. The glyphs were first reported by Alan Dash, a local surveyor in Gosford, in the 1970s. The glyphs resemble ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs and, although most genuine archaeologists have dismissed the idea that they're over 5000 years old and carved by Egyptians, some sources believe they are. They glyphs were "discovered" in the mid to late 20th century. The Gosford Glyphs are a set of nearly 300 engravings in Brisbane Water National Park in Kariong, New South Wales, Australia.
