Honestly I'd really like to see it done with an ox. I feel like sleight of hand becomes a lot more impressive when the object in question can't actually fit in your hand. Or how you'd hide the real head of the ox since not only is an ox head relatively large (whereas birds... not so much) before we even start considering the horns. And most oxen don't even have wings, so there's not a lot of hiding places. It's of course possible that the ancient scroll wasn't *entirely* factual.

So you mean to say that in the thousands of years Egypt ruled the area not one lower kingdom sent them a jackal as a gift for tribute? Got to love how science works now a days.

Camera: focuses on hieroglyphs depicting water and feathers Sandi: It could be a saw of some kind. And of course you can write without vowels. Hebrews and Arabs got by without them for centuries, and Jews still read from the Torah without them. This is because Hebrew, like all Semitic languages, forms words from consonant-based roots -- usually of 3 consonants -- with shades of meaning indicated by the vowels. (There are also affixes and particles that can affect the meaning as well.) This means that, in writing systems designed for such languages, all related words will be spelled similarly. It was the fact that this was not the case in Babylonian cuneiform that clued historians to the idea that cuneiform had not been designed for their Semitic language. This led to the discovery and decipherment of Sumerian.
