Thoth? Damn, I can't tell if that's an ibis or a falcon!
If it's a falcon it's Horus.

Okay, steering things away from Egypt
slightly (hey, this type of thing
does come up the the hstory categories on SWPs
) what was the name of the Greek general who's descendents (including Cleopatra) ruled Egpyt after it was conquered by the Greeks under Alexander the Great? After Cleopatra, it would become a province of the Roman empire.

I'm almost certainly missing something here,
but is the answer SPOONFEED?
... cos all the others have 6 letters!

Well after trying the positions on the keyboard, height of the letters, even adding up the values of the letters (e.g. a=1, b=2), I see that all the letters are in alphabetical order!
What's the longest word with all the letters in order (that's not my question by the way, since I don't know the answer!).
