'Tis a homemade heiroglyph
That you can tell
Please give me the meaning
And its truth as well

Hint: The picture AND the cartouches convey the whole meaning.

Ask yourself questions about the heiroglyph, questions like:

1. What task is each figure doing in the picture?
2. Where are the characters on the right pointing towards?
3. What is each character looking at?
4. Is there a reason why they are pointing at different things? Why or why not?
5. What kind of figures are in the cartouches?
6. How do the figures in the cartouches relate to the picture?
7. Are there common figures in each cartouche?

The figures in each cartouche are (going left to right): an eye, a dark light, an empty thought bubble, a chalice full of dark water, another eye, and another chalice full of bright, clear water.

Looks like Kathi's parable about the poisoned drink.

'Course, one person's poison is another person's lifesaving medicine...

A Portion of the Literal Interpretation of this heiroglyph and cartouches: a very wicked and greedy man tries to distract two travelers by showing them a great, dazzling light he has...

Can you fill in the rest of the story?

I'll give it a shot....the one on the far left.. is offering a false light -wanting it to be worshiped...
the first one (In the middle is duped into "honoring" the false light..
.and the one on the far right is praying for the man in the middle..the man on the far right has the truth and is trying to pray the other two away from the "dark light"
