This?

This is all she offers?

Well you sound disappointed.

I feel unappreciated, yes!

I offer thousands!

No, tens of thousands!

Hundreds of thousands of able bodied men and women!

And she thinks I will march back home

and flaunt for the adoring masters,

her precious gift of a rock!?

Naqada.

What was that?

Naqada, Naqada?

Yes, I heard.

What does it mean?

Well, Naqada was a city in ancient Egypt,

also known as Nbwt.

It was the center of their civilization.

Naqada?

Naqada is life, death, everything in-between.

Na-nay Naqada.

No Naqada.

Once Wasif told me the Coptic vowel placement to listen for.

Try this.

No it's good.

My father, he's the real expert.

Imagining what the language of the pharaohs

would've sounded like has long been a passion of his.

Looks like it paid off.

Funny.

I always thought it was a complete waste of time.

That's why Brücke took him

What do you mean?

He must've known my father

would understand the language here.

How could he have known that?

Thank you.

Okay.

Oh, Wasif.

- Wasif? - Wasif.

He knew enough to open the gate in the first place.

It's not crazy to think he knew what he may have found here.

There are glyphs in here that I've never seen before,
