Dramatic difference of Side A, Side B[edit]

I was originally going to work on a "Nine Bows" article, and found instead, myself here, and trying to make a quick-and-dirty article, that is actually related to prisoners, captives, and the Gardiner's Sign List entry for the prisoner element-(and therefore the Nine Bows). (It has some other variations, that can be found in the Two Volume Budge, hieroglyphic dictionaries).

Budge. An Egyptian Hieroglyphic Dictionary, E.A.Wallace Budge, (Dover Publications), c 1978, (c 1920), Dover edition, 1978. (In two volumes) (softcover, ISBN 0-486-23615-3)

But after adding the third External link, and reading the "synoptic" of what the Battlefield Palette is all about....I want to say this:
It seems the palette is about: War vs Peace, ....or Peace vs War.

The entire text corpus of the predynastic Egypt palettes is "Wonderful". I assume that the last palette was for Narmer, and "commissioned" by him or his buddies-(his club), but the extent of the Corpus of palettes is quite unbelievable. I have opened enuff books, and I refer to the "Min Palette". The description, simply: a Palette, no details, no central 'cosmetic' area, and a combination of two "hieroglyphs", referencing Min (?)(covering 1/6(?)of top front)-(Nothing on palette Reverse)(I see now the two bird ornaments on top)....Min Palette, etc

So my summary of what I am saying, is:.....I wonder who these fellas were who made these wonderfull Palettes, (the Corpus) and I assume some just 'individual' "artisan" work, and direction was taken....(Kind of like Wikipedia: A collection, but with individual Excursions, as well)....(from the SonoranDesert, HotDry ArizonaUSA....)(I assume one can take an excursion on a Talk Page (in WikiPedia)?)...Mmcannis (talk) 16:22, 26 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
