What Does Tayma' Hieroglyphic Inscription Consist of?

Tayma' hieroglyphic inscription consists of two cartouches (frames) bearing information written about King Ramesses III. This type of inscription is one of the well-known traditions in Ancient Egypt for naming Egypt kings. The hieroglyphic inscription consists of four parts: the coronation title "Nesu-Bity," meaning King of Upper and Lower Egypt; the birth name "Sare Bin Ra," meaning the sun god; and the name of the king or that of the family, in addition to a description of the king.

Tayma' hieroglyphic inscription is an archaeological inscription that dates back to the twelfth century BCE. It was discovered in November 2010 in Tayma' Governorate in Tabuk Province, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It is the first inscription on the Arabian Peninsula, found on a fixed rock near the Tayma' Oasis. The inscription carries the royal signature "dual cartouches" of King Ramesses III, one of Egypt's Pharaoh kings, who ruled Egypt between 1192 and 1160 BCE.
