The Pseudoarchaeology of the Glyphs
Some pseudoarchaeologists also argue that the glyphs must be real because they show an extensive knowledge of glyphs (beyond that of translating software).[3]
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; ... . 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. Some glyphs came from thousands of years after the glyph was supposedly carved.[1]
