Sphinx with proto-Sinaitic inscriptions, from Serabit el-Khadim, Sinai, Middle Kingdom, around 1800 BCE. The
semi-precious stone turquoise was extracted here from
the Middle Kingdom onwards. Hathor, the goddess associated with turquoise, is named in the hieroglyphic
inscription on the right shoulder. The proto-sinaitic inscription includes a similar name, the inscriptions are
therefore bilingial, like the Rosetta stone. EA 41748
