Storyline

A snake and an owl

This is probably not the most beautiful piece of Egyptian art you’ve ever seen. Even so, it is interesting, and deserves its spot in a museum. In this story, we will learn a bit about the Egyptian hieroglyphic script using this stela. Are hieroglyphs really just pictures?
