What are the Gosford Glyphs?
The Gosford Glyphs are a set of "almost 300 engravings on two sandstone walls" in Kariong, New South Wales, Australia.[1] They glyphs were "discovered" in the 1900s.[2]
What is the context in which it was found/excavated/etc?
The Pseudoarchaeology of the Glyphs
Some Egyptologists, such as Mohamed Ibrahim (who studied "(Ancient Egyptian, Coptic, Islamic) Art and history at Helwan University in Cairo"[3]) and Yousef Abd’el Hakim Awyan (who "studied ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs his entire life"[2] but has no formal Egyptology education), argue that the glyphs must be real because they show an extensive knowledge of glyphs (beyond that of translating software).[4]
The Actual Archaeology of the Glyphs
Many Egyptologists have come to the consensus that the glyphs are fake because of inaccuracies/discrepancies in the glyphs. These Egyptologists include: Associate Professor Boyo Ockinga from Macquarie University's Ancient History Department[1], who has a Dphil in Egyptology[5]; Australian Egyptologist, Professor Naguib Kanawati[2], who has a Masters degree and Doctorate in Egyptology[6];... . According to Ockinga, inaccuracies are evident in the way that the glyphs were carved into the rocks, as well as in what time period the glyphs used came from[1]. Kanawati also states that some of the glyphs appear to have been carved backwards[2]. Some glyphs came from thousands of years after the glyph was supposedly carved.[1]
