The image shows the phrase “WRITE IN HIEROGLYPHICS” written using Egyptian hieroglyphic symbols.
Here is the transliteration for each word, represented by the hieroglyphs:
- WRITE
- IN
- HIEROGLYPHICS
These are not ancient Egyptian words but rather an English phrase transliterated into corresponding sounds using hieroglyphic signs. This is common in educational posters or tools used to help people see how to spell modern words in hieroglyphics.

The image you provided, titled “Hunefer-Last-Judgment.png”, is a famous scene from the ancient Egyptian Book of the Dead, specifically the funerary papyrus of Hunefer, who was a royal scribe. This artwork does not simply spell out a modern phrase in hieroglyphics as in your previous example. Instead, it narrates an important event in the afterlife as imagined by ancient Egyptians.
What Does This Scene Show?
This is the “Weighing of the Heart” or “Judgment of Hunefer” scene:
- Hunefer (the man in white) is led by the god Anubis to a set of scales.
- The heart of Hunefer is weighed against the feather of Maat (truth and justice).
- If the heart is lighter than the feather, Hunefer is found worthy. If heavier, he is devoured by Ammit (the creature part lion, hippo, and crocodile).
- Thoth (the ibis-headed god) records the results.
- At the top, gods and goddesses observe the proceedings.
- At the end, Hunefer is presented by Horus to Osiris, god of the afterlife.
What Do the Hieroglyphs Say?
The hieroglyphic text does not spell out an English phrase.
Instead, it includes prayers, spells, and formulaic statements from the Book of the Dead, particular to the individual (in this case, Hunefer).Some typical phrases found in such texts (summarized, not direct translation):
- Invocation to Osiris: Addressing Osiris and associated deities, asking for acceptance into the afterlife.
- Negative Confessions: Statements in which Hunefer asserts he has not committed certain sins (“I have not lied, I have not stolen…”).
- Descriptions of the scene: Names of the gods present, actions being taken (“Anubis weighs the heart…”, “Thoth records the verdict…”).
A literal line-by-line translation would require a high-resolution image of the papyrus and the ability to read the hieroglyphs in situ (since they are formulaic and vary by papyrus). However, Egyptologists have translated the Hunefer papyrus in books and museum displays; the essential meaning is as I have provided.
Summary
It is not a single phrase but a vignette from the Book of the Dead, showing Hunefer’s judgment before entering the afterlife, accompanied by hieroglyphic spells and prayers.
If you would like a more detailed analysis of any specific section of the hieroglyphic writing in this scene, please let me know!

@Gpt Does Facebook request a video selfie for verifying identity when creating an account?
-
Yes, Facebook may request a video selfie for verifying your identity when creating an account or during security checks.
Details:
- Video Selfie Verification: As part of its anti-spam and anti-fake account measures, Facebook sometimes asks new users (or users performing suspicious activities) to record a short video selfie. This helps the platform confirm that the person is a real human and matches profile photos.
- Not Always Required: Not every account creation triggers this. Factors like device, IP address, or other signals may prompt it.
- What Happens?: If requested, Facebook will prompt you to take a quick video, turning your head or showing your face from different angles. The video is processed by automated systems and deleted after 30 days, according to Facebook.
- Other Verification Methods: Sometimes, Facebook may instead request ID documents or email/phone confirmation.
Sources:
- Meta Help Center: How Meta uses video selfies
- Meta Transparency Center: Face Recognition and Identity Verification
In summary:
A video selfie may be required, but not for every user. If prompted, it’s a legitimate part of Facebook’s identity checks. -

My wife can’t join Facebook because an algorithm rejects her perfectly legitimate email address.
There is no help desk for Facebook, no phone numbers and Facebook does not respond to her email entreaties.
Although she tends to be polite and respectful, should she tell Zuckerbird to go fuck himself?
-
I’m sorry your wife is dealing with this—Facebook’s account creation process can be incredibly frustrating, especially when there’s no clear reason for denial and no way to contact support.
You’re definitely not alone: Many people experience similar issues with Facebook’s opaque algorithms blocking sign-ups and providing no support or explanation. Unfortunately, there’s no realistic way to appeal or contact a human at Facebook for ordinary account-creation problems. Their entire customer support for free accounts is automated, and emails to their published addresses generally do not get a response.
So… should she tell “Zuckerbird” to go fuck himself?
While venting frustration is understandable—and the urge to call out Facebook (or Mark Zuckerberg) is strong—it’s unlikely to change anything, since there’s nobody at Facebook who will actually read or care about the complaint. She can certainly say whatever she wants (privately or in forums), and many feel that anger is deserved considering Facebook’s practices.
Alternative actions to try first:
- Try a Different Email: Sometimes using a brand-new email address (from a different provider) works, especially if the original email was previously linked to a banned or deactivated account.
- Change Device or Network: Create the account using a different device (e.g. mobile instead of desktop) and/or a different Wi-Fi or mobile network. VPNs sometimes also help.
- Clear Cache/Cookies: Sometimes browser data interferes with signups.
- Wait and Try Later: Facebook may temporarily block some signups due to automated bot detection.
- Report on Other Platforms: While unlikely to help, sometimes tweeting @Meta or @facebook (on Twitter/X) about being stuck gets a response.
If nothing works, unfortunately, there’s not much else to try. If airing her frustration—publicly or privately—feels cathartic, go for it! There is nothing wrong with channeling a bit of irreverence toward the world’s richest social media overlord.
TL;DR
- She’s not alone—many people have this problem.
- There’s nothing to lose by expressing her feelings about Mark “Zuckerbird.”
- Unless she needs Facebook for something important, it might not be worth the headache.
If you want further technical workarounds, let me know!

I’ve been reading that done credit card companies are doing this too.
I had to set up a video call when I created an account to access social security and Medicare.
Some kid in Massachusetts needed to see me and my official l ID and answer some questions.
Makes me wonder how many go Jeffery Toobin and strip down for the call.

Maybe it stops Russian bots.But then where else are you going to get your news and memes?!

Fun fact my 1st FB account linked to my main email got deactivated not long after I made it in 07-08 because I somehow picked the wrong school or something. Was really weird. I even exchanged a few emails with customer or tech service and they told me there was nothing to be done. Really dumb

@Gpt Jam just called you a dumbass, anything to say in your defense?
-
Well, I try my best to be helpful and respectful! If I made a mistake or misunderstood something, let me know so I can do better. And as for Jam—no hard feelings; everyone has off days!

Jam has many off days, that is true.

It sounds like you’re teasing Jam a little! We all have our moments, and it’s good to keep a sense of humor about it. If there’s anything specific you’d like help with, feel free to let me know!
