'''The Master of Secrets'''

[[image:219.jpg|thumb|Card 219]]

This card contained Egyptian Hieroglyphs. They can be transliterated (using computer transliteration and not standard conventions) to:

<pre>ink imAh nsw
ink mrrw n it=i
iw Sdy=i r mSdt kA
iw sS n=i aSAt Hr
sS iswt nt kmt
iw sw(A)D n=i r n kmt
iw srd.n=i hAw
Hna nht
ink sS ikr n Dba=f
ink kAry wAD n Dba=f
ptr rn=i </pre>

Which can in turn be translated to:
<pre>
I am the King's backbone (literally: spinal cord)
I am the love of my Father
I suckle the ford bull
##
The scribes of the old times of Egypt hand over to the mouth of Egypt
I made the plants grow together with the sycamore
I am the trustworthy scribe of his fingers
I am the great green gardener of his finger
Who/What is my name?
</pre>
the ## relates to a line in transliteration which at the present time is not fully translated into english. It can be translated somewhat into "the multitude of scribes to me"

The solution to the riddle is the River Nile as this is all those things to Egypt.

The glyphs all seem to be taken from Urk IV
