LOOOOOOOOOOOOONG LOOOOOOOOOOOOONG MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!
Sphinxes. Creatures from ancient Anugypt, shrouded in mystery, myth, and superstition.
When an archaeology caravan passes through Ponyville carrying the find of the century--four mummified sphinxes--an ancient Anugyptian curse awakens and regenerates the Sphinx Queen Neferkitti and her retainers.
Now, four mysterious creatures from another place and time are on the loose...and mildly annoying the citizens of Ponyville.

sorry to say, but Pharaoh moans sounds a bit like a clopfic, or a porno.
Seriously though, I look forward to seeing more of this whenever it comes out. I'm going to enjoy this.
I'm going to copy some of what I already said in your blog, but I thought it was relevant enough to repost on the story itself.
Okay, this is a pleasant coincidence for me. About a week and a half ago, I told someone "I'd absolutely love to see how the show interprets a Sphinx." Here comes MythrilMoth, providing a potential answer in fanfic form.
Well, there is one way to help Rosetta Stone in that regard, if he'd only think of it. He should insist upon being called "Mr. Stone." That sounds a bit more masculine...
This is going to be a fun read, that's for sure.
That's bad... Really really bad.
That chant made me giggle once I read it backwards.
Neferkitti ! Just in time for yowloween. Let's see instead of Tana leaves we could use catnip
leaves. Let's hope that she is not overly disappointed to find out that Tom is a rock.
"Why aren't you working with the rest of the group, Rosetta?"
"Oh, eetsa longo tello, but a small parta it be, uh, meesa clumsy..."
"You got sent away because you were clumsy?"
"Uh, yoosa might'n be sayin' that."
Wow, really?
This is off to a good start, and anything Egyptian is awesome in my book. It'll be interesting to see where this goes!
6571322 The author got it from a YouTube video. The chant is literally the only line sung throughout the video.
It's a strangely addictive song.
6571256 While that is true, I don't think that was the intention.
>Neferkitti
Alright, I'll read it.
Aaaaaand faved!
What?
I already read this chapter on the preview, and I can't find something else to say about it.
Except that now I understand the meaning behind those magic-words.
Ponyville is gonna be so mildly annoyed. The suspense is slightly irritating me.
I ship Rosetta with Derpy.
6571374 You are a horrible person for letting that highly infectous earworm loose
. May your karmic punishment be swift and appropriately ironic

Didn't aqua teen hunger force cover this?
RETUUUUURN THE SLAAAAAB!
Sphinxes, THE cursed words (seriously, since I read them, I am hearing this aweful song again AND IT WON´T GO AWAY!) and Ponies?
Have my fave and my like!
6571469 I know. Just thought I'd point it out
couldn't resist. Trust me, I tried.
6571945 Ah, shut the hell up. You love it and you know damn well you've saved that song on your bookmark tabs somewhere. So don't feed me that load of crap because I know you know that I know that you know you know you love it...you know.

I admit to nothing.
Nothing!
6571374 Well, I know why they're only gonna annoy Ponyville. Not enough regdabs!
Yes!!
All we need is some dogs or wolves.
....
♪Discoooord, I'm howlin' at the moon...♫
I like it!
Rosetta, you are a dumbkoff.
I look forward to seeing the sphinxes!
No, not milk! I'm mildly intolerant!
Should we be worried? I'm not that worried...
Oh man... This doesn't bode well. Four power hungry, undead, chaos-using villains are sure to cause a lot of... well... chaos.
Also, it is really difficult to picture the sphinxes as they currently are in the art-style of the show. Kind of uncanny-valley, if you ask me.
Can't wait for the next chapter.
It begins. Funny how if something strange or 'chaotic' happens they immediately believe Discord did it.
Discord: Hey, I have feelings too you know!
ancient badger curses are nothing to sneeze at...
cdn.meme.am/images/5670846.jpg
Well, this is just as glorious as the first chapter. Looking forward to the next eight plagues.
Oh yisss... my otaku are calling for me.
6571256 You look in that direction too much. I grew up on scooby doo. And what did mummy pharoahs do? Moan.
Is this story for halloween or Pesach?
Three things I love! You got my attention!
6572902 And once more, UniqueSKD stood in triumph as he won the argument.
And thus the brony fandom hailed him as their king, and Obabscribbler and EileMonty finally gave in to their lusts for him.
Now, kneel before me, little one, and thou shalt be spared from thine wrath!
6573293 They only moan because they knew they were in a low-budget Scooby-Doo cartoon.
"Oh no, not another Scooby-Doo cartoon! I could have gotten a better gig in that second The Mummy movie..."
This Rosetta Stone character reminds me of Daniel Jackson.
Also, why do people and ponies alike seek to constantly do the exact opposite of what a curse tells them to do? And why woukd the words be inscribed in stone anyway?
6571262 :hasn't read story yet:
:reads quote:
:looks oddly at final bit:
:realises it's backwards:
:figures out what it's saying:
:giggles:
Why would Twilight dismiss the curse out of hoof given what's she's encountered in her life?
In this universe I would just accept curses as another form of dark magic.
So...
Who is Neferkitti going to mistake for Tomcathep?
Spike?
Big Mac?
Caramel?
Fancy Pants?
Rosetta?
Rainbow Dash?
Maybe... Maybe even Twilight?
Ooooh, Egypt stuff...
I love me some Egypt stuff...
Am I the only one who thinks the Prince is going to turn out to have been Discord back when he was a prankster and took a Sphinx form for the fun of it? Or, alternatively, he was said Prince but draconequi are to Sphinxes as alicorns are to the other three pony tribes?
That was fun, may I have another? Looking forward to more.
Keep up the good work. Deus tecum.
and then *watches a huge pillar of solar energy incinerate the mummified remains to sum-atomic particles.* that happened.

Have you ever listened to The Living Tombstone's Remix of the song?
*sigh* I remember when I first heard those lyrics from new grounds, such a fun childhood...
