I can read snippets a few times per day for a few minutes, but I get distracted to other bodies of knowledge often.

Given the Islamic and iconoclastic reservation about looking at images, it should be like procreation for humanity, done only if it prevents annihilation, but avoided otherwise. But not all hieroglyphs are sinful, and some are more honorable than others. To balance the past with the future, let us come up with this compro...
