Hieroglyphic links:

Contains a nice definition of hieroglyphics with several good examples and the meaning of each.

Cartouche Translators

I used the name Jaclynn to create samples to show you what each translator will create.

Some samples were reduced from the original size to better fit this page.

Harcourt School Publishers: Make Your Own Cartouche

This page provides a little information on cartouches is as well.

King Tut's Treasures, Inc.

This is my favorite. This page contains some comparisons with the English alphabet and is easy to use.

The finished cartouche is larger than what is shown here. It prints out nicely and students really like it.
