What is really funny here is that I think that I do understand why an
in-depth understanding of Middle Egyptian hieroglyphics is important. But My
question to you would be is it specific to Middle Egyptian? Or would
Sumarian and early Cuniform, as well as Aztec & Mayan symbolic writing forms
also be useful?
Personally, I'm a big believer that a good IA should know more than 1
language well in order to do their job well.
