Those are not ascii charcaters though. That thought was brought up before and was shot down for this reason. A side note....Egyptians aren't really ancient. Someday when people are not afraid of the truth, they will show the proof to the public. Those writings were of a different culture and the Egyptians pawned it off as their own.
