about

the title comes for this piece comes from anthanasius kircher's (1601/02-1680) erroneous (and spectacularly long) mistranslation of the cartouch containing the names of apries

regardless of these spectacular failures his work on the coptic language was vital in finally understanding hieroglyphs

the full 'translation' is:

The protection of Osiris against the violence of Typho must be elicited according to the proper rites and ceremonies by sacrifices and by appeal to the tutelary Genii of the triple world in order to ensure the enjoyment of the prosperity customarily given by the nile against the violence of the enemy Typho
