A joint Egyptian-Italian archaeological mission has discovered a remarkably well-preserved tomb near the Mausoleum of Aga Khan, belonging to a senior official named Ka-Mesiu. The tomb contains a limestone sarcophagus, intricate hieroglyphic inscriptions, and mummies, offering new insights into ancient Egyptian social dynamics and funerary practices.
The post discusses the feasibility of fine-tuning a decoder-encoder model to translate Egyptian Middle Kingdom hieroglyphics into English. The author suggests that with sufficient training data and a tokenizer that includes Egyptian characters, the model could learn to interpret hieroglyphics fluently. Comments from users mention using plugins and existing knowledge in models as alternatives to fine-tuning.
