Home Medjai-Tattoos: the cheeks

The tattoos on the cheeks are identical, but mirror-inverted. Together all these hieroglyphics of one cheek tattoo mean "maat" = truth. One can see the following hieroglyphics: the sickle (U1, phone "m³"), the forearm (D36, phone "a"), the bread (X1, phone "t") and the socle/foundation (Aa11, phone "a/m³"). These four letters together make up the abstract form of "maat". Normally there would be a fifth symbol, that tells the reader, how the maat is meant, for example: You can see on the most little picture of hieroglyphics a figure, and this human shaped figure together with the basics for maat mean "figure of maat". The picture below shows the basic form of maat together with a book, and this is "the science of maat". The figure and the book define/determinate the maat. So on the cheeks there is only the abstract form of maat. Like all the Medjai tattoos, these hieroglyphs are artistically positioned. That was allowed on Old Egypt. Artists and writers were free to place the hieroglyphics. They try to place them stratetically. Here the forearm is very big, and the symbols for bread and socle are quite smaller. On the picture with the old Egyptian Medjai (right picture) one can see lines above and below the letters. The confine the hieroglyphic set. Ardeth has no such lines.
So, clearly these cheek tattoos are no skiff or boat or something Arabic. With the help of an online Old Egyptian dictionary I found out the meaning.
