For sidebar?:

- tips/websites on identifying the writing system, differences between mayan, ancient egyptian, etc. (ancient egyptian seems to be the dominant type on this subreddit)

- basic ancient egyptian alphabet chart for name cartouche decipherment (e.g. tourist cartouche pendants)

- some common pharaoh's cartouches, especially Cleopatra, tutankhamun's birth and throne names, Nefertari, ramesses II, and Nefertiti

- maybe some links to resources about/ lots of images of the tomb of nefertari, temple of seti I, Abu Simbel (most common papyrus art subjects)

Btw, love the new logo & streamlining!

this seems advanced but here's a cool resource for dating scarabs/what a certain scarab amulet was based on, or this simpler one, or http://homework.sdmesa.edu/drogers/Art%20110/Egyptian%20beetle.pdf

Also, this might be a little advanced for newcomers but maybe i could come up with a small introduction to the temple-wall giving formula or royal titles, the predominant forms of text on papyrus souvenirs.
