Arauna seems to think these early hieroglyphs are not being represented properly.  

This archeologist in the video gave the reading of it as he learnt it.  NO scholar knows the true pronunciation of hieroglyphs before 500 BCE.  They are using the Hellenistic  pronunciation of it which was deciphered off of the Rosetta Stone. Rosetta stone dates from 2nd century BCE.

There are usually BIG changes in languages over 1200 years.  (1500 BCE to 200 BCE).  Look at the English pronunciation today and compare it to the pronunciation of Shakespearian English in Elizabethan era (only 400 years ago).

Thank you dear! The JW article puts it in a slightly later time but is very well balanced.  It also incorporates some of the information (link)  presented by Mr. LIN. Whenever there is a dispute about anything I always find that the GB is spot on and gives the best explanation!  I am impressed.  Detractors take note!  This article indicates the research which goes into each article.... and the commentary cannot be faulted.
