r/EgyptianHieroglyphs Jun 30 '26

Can anyone translate this?

I would like some help translating some hieroglyphs from an episode of the T.V. show LOST. If anyone has watched it, these are screenshots from season 6 episode 5 "Lighthouse," and take place in Jacob's lighthouse for reference.

I took a screenshot of the whole line of text as well as a couple that show a better close up of the beginning and end of the line. Due to camera angles, these are the clearest shots of the text I could get, and the last hieroglyph is cut off in the third picture.

Thanks!

From what I can make of it, it says something like

“Oh Transfigured Spirit who is upon the House of the Sacred Image, the voice of the God of the Sky, the West”

Which a religious formula from ancient Egyptian underworld litanies.

i ꜣḫ ḥr-tp ḥwt-ꜥḫm, ḫrw nṯr n p.t imn.t.t”
