S6E5 LIGHTHOUSE TRANSLATION

The lighthouse contained a row of hieroglyphs. It was a long line of symbols, and the screen cap was fuzzy at best. It appears to be a prayer to one of the Egyptian gods. This my best translation:

I approach the Devine Spirit, Lady Nephthys.
Support the King.
Fetch your Father's (Geb) Support.
Give and justify that which binds the Two Lands after binding the dangerous under ruler scourge.
Destroy Hell's entrails (on the) Island, our Garden.

Nephthys is the patron of the dead, funerals and protector of the house. She is the sister of Osiris and wife of Seth. She helped put together Osiris after Seth murdered him. She is often depicted on a boat riding with the dead toward the Blessed Land.

Her father, Geb, is the God of the Earth, and a member of the Ennead, the council of the founding gods.
