Mathew Who is Tompkins?

It was Tomkins ( I wrote his name wrong) He made one mock up of all the lose stuff we already made. So I used his preliminary design ( it's on page 4 of this thread).
I am now done with the inner columns of the second page and working on the top one and the stars ( I believe my stars are a little of, but I am sure someone could fix that later).
Unfortunately the text is just a mismatch of parts of the text on page one. I had hoped for a real text and thought I might be from Philae, but your HD screencap proved me wrong in my first assessment.

If someone knows the font for the titles please tell me, also better screenshots of the outer columns would be appriciated.

Thanks. I thought this was a cool project, and as a Egyptology student I couldn't resist, so I jumped on the bandwagon
Just out of curiousity ( I hope you don't mind), what are you going to do with this when it's finished. Do you have agreater collection and are you going to make the whole book ( like fit these pages in a second hand book or something like that)?
Btw, if you know the font or have better shots of the outer columns let me know. The most left column is unreadable and the right hand one is concealed by the hand so I only have a few signs of those ( they are in my newer version, but i'll post that if I have finished the columns and the title.
 
I used Times New Roman bold for the page header when I laid out the page mock-up. I don't know if that's an exact match, but it was close enough for me. (Probably the first time I've ever said that about a font, but I was under a time constraint.)
 
I will try to clear and zoom the photo more so i can find all the symbols.I am a collector and my favorites movies are two The Mummy and The mummy Returns.I will try to make the whole book and i will keep this to pages to my collection.I have bought a lot items from this two movies.Also i want and i have start already to make a journal inspired from this two movie this journal is Evelyn Carnahan o Connell journal.When i finish this i will upload photos to see that.
 
Generally always i had and i have a great love about Egypt.I have read a lot of books about Egypt and i learned also by myself to read and write Ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphs.Maybe of this reason my favorite films are The Mummy and The Mummy Returns!!!
 
I would love to see your journal when it is finishend. I have quite à soft spot for old books. If I am back at the university I will see of I can scan some great photos from real Egyptian explorations in the early twenties and thirties if you like.

HAHA It's Tomking, That's me. I am a graphic designer + a lot more and have actually just finished a high resolution map of hamunaptra that I started last week. (not fully done) just have to color it and have it printed and then do the painting, sorry I wasn't more help on this one, but I hope the design I did of the scorpion helped out?

Mathew, your awesome! :)
I am looking forward to learning more and being able to help out where I can! :D
Sampe LOW LOW LOW res of the file I made, I know it's not 100% accurate but I am okay with it and still adjust things here and there, it is me though and I am pleased with it so far! ^_^

Tomking, you can buy sheets of papyrus off eBay or Amazon. Depending on how big the map is supposed to be, and how big a sheet your printer can handle, you could print it out yourself at home.
