The Egyptian Hieroglyphs no one wants to talk about...
Shrouded in mystery, could they redefine history?
Shrouded in mystery these two sheer rock cliffs facing each other are inscribed with Egyptian hieroglyphs.



When deciphered, one side of the cliff tells a tale of Egyptian people on their way home after a successful expedition. However they encountered a wild storm at sea and their fleet of boats was wrecked and many died.
The glyph place marks the tomb or burial place, the transition place of their dead to the otherworld.
It was inscribed not by a professional scribe, but a distraught sailor or captain, who did his best to honour the dead and mark the place far from home, with his basic knowledge of hieroglyphs. We know this as it is written within the inscriptions.
While it’s not entirely true that no one is talking about these glyphs, it’s more the lack of rigorous historical research and their global significance that is suspiciously absent amidst plenty of public whitewash.
Why?
The glyphs are in the bush a couple of hours north of Sydney on unceded Darkinjung lands. Near Gosford on the Central Coast, they are known as the Kariong glyphs, or sometimes simply Gosford glyphs.
But the Egyptians didn’t come to Australia…did they?
Egyptian hieroglyph scholars translating the glyphs tell us the first line describes the visitors being on good terms with the indigenous inhabitants of the land. The two peoples had ‘an honourable relationship’.
While our current mainstream view believes the first nations people of this land were isolated and had no interaction with the outside world, their own oral memories tell a different story. This includes one where one survivor of the storm stayed and lived on amidst the original peoples.
There is also evidence in hieroglyphs in Egypt of interaction with the original peoples of Australia in the long distant past (this I’ll return to).






Fake?
The government/national parks statement on the Kariong glyphs is that they are fake. Sometimes they’re said to be created as a memorial by a WWI veteran who fought in Egypt; sometimes purported to be made by Sydney University students in the 1960’s under the guidance of their lecturers; other times by hippies, and another vague theory is that a man chiselled them out in the 1970’s. Yet noone has come forward to claim ownership.
These arguments are pulled apart in a video (link below), but briefly summarised:
At the time the WWI veteran would have made his ‘memorial’, the area was deep in bushland – meaning no whitefella would have seen or known of it at the time – ie. not a very good memorial!
The 1960’s Sydney university student theory is disputed by students who were at the university at the very time, saying this would never have happened as it undermines the university’s moral code of the day.
So what are we to think?
More to the point, the glyphs were known to the indigenous people before any of these hoax theories were said to have taken place.
Their oral knowledge predates all of the above theories.
Egyptians deciphering the glyphs
Egyptian scholars have carefully studied the Kariong glyphs and themselves believe they are legitimate for several reasons, which are described in the below videos: Gosford Glyphs Analysis Parts 1, 2 & 3.
According to them, the glyphs are proto Egyptian – meaning the earliest form of Egyptian glyphs. The time of the boat incident is thought to date around 500BC.
This paints a different picture of world history than the current worldview…

Shrouded in mystery, being wiped from history…
If it isn’t enough to shed doubt on the authenticity of the glyphs (which there is most definitely a wide movement of), they are facing destruction. Recently they have undergone significant damage as well as being at imminent threat from development plans.
Just in the last year, great boulders that were over the top of the glyphs have been blasted into rubble exposing the glyphs to the weather. The bottom of the two rock walls and their glyphs have also been covered from view by packed soil creating a new floor between the rock walls. All of the glyphs can no longer be seen.
Visiting the area there is a heaviness within the land. A deep grief. I feel a strong sense that there are ancestors calling out widely to be heard, seen and protected. To be remembered.
Not far away there are other sacred areas. Sacred women’s places, indigenous stone markings, star maps and the most stunning and enormous Grandmother Tree.



The engraving (far right) I first thought to be like a turtle shell, though it had more than 13 segments. I’ve since discovered that this may be crocodile patterns, something I’ve come across in another sacred site.
“It was stated that the three rocks with crocodile writing are women’s rocks, that they deal with healing the sick and unwell and that also when thrown in a certain manner the resultant pattern can supply descriptions and details that deal with the future.”**
If we are to learn more about Australia and its interactions in the context of world history, sites like this need to be studied in depth. We are fast losing many significant sites that could alter the way we view history.
The Kariong glyphs are also in an area of ecological and indigenous significance and currently need your help to protect them from further damage.

I’ve been walking the plant spirit path for close to 30 years. With herbalism, homeopathy, and plant alchemy/spagyrics as early companions, midwifery and shamanism came a little later.

I continue to offer The Flower Codes Training/ Shamanic Herbalism online course, as well as various in person shamanic nature-based courses such as Herbal Alchemy Spagyrics.

Queen Kafré. A hieroglyph in this video shows a frog skeleton identical to that of Aboriginal’s paintings!!! Coincidence? 🤓
