Just worked through the four lines in the first long strip. I now have 4 of the 12 glyphs. Can’t seem to get started on the other two strips associated with the partial grids. Not sure how to work with the blank spaces. They don’t seem to fall on any of the blank areas of the grids. I might need a little nudge here to jump start the remainder of the search. If anyone could help, it would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

The blanks were theoretically illegible, so you will need to supply the potential solution. There may be some guess and check to it.

Try the possibilities and see which work given you have a few more symbols after each blank - the path never crosses itself, and never goes out of bounds...

The map has some hieroglyphics on the right side. I’ve translated a few of them - but some are outstanding. 1,2,4,5,8,9 are recognizable Gods and Goddesses. 3 is a word of phrase, as is 10. Has anyone gotten further? I’ll post as I learn more. I’ve actually started learning to read Hieroglyphs just to translate these documents. I've been looking at this too I've got them all but 3, 13, and 16. They're all gods and goddesses except 24 - I just have Priest of Ra for that one

Do I need to have solved all this to enjoy opening the crate? Well, I know I'll enjoy it, but will I be missing something vital if I don't....because I am stuck.

Okay I need help with understanding the hieroglyphics, I see the the full rubbing starts with the kneeling person and makes a pattern that ends on that pattern block, which when you look at Emma's journal she has sketched as the snake with the sun perhaps.
But nothing else is making itself known to me. Still looking for a heratic type dictionary for the rest of the journal page.

Still chipping away at the 12 symbol sequences. Have the first 9 coordinates but am stuck on 10, 11, 12. I keep ending up at same spots. Unfortunately none of them land in the glyph portion of the grid. Could use a a little help here. Stuck!
Thanks!

I think I’m beginning to see the big picture...
