Re: The Egyptian nfr hieroglyph

Interesting. I thought the zigzag represented water. I think I need to go back and review my hieroglyphics 101. However my point was that the nfr has traditionally meant beauty and I was a little confused by your assertion that it was a measuring tool. :-) Did I misunderstand you?

And on a slightly different tack, from what I read about Akhenaten, his switch to sun worship (Aton) came about around the time he founded Amarna and when both he and Nefertiti established themselves as Gods. So is that fragment a reference to Akhenaten or even Nefertiti? (I can't even find out where Bak was buried).
