Darnell comments that Wadi El Hol has many rock inscriptions which can be viewed by travelers of the Farshut caravan road.
The Wadi El Hol 1 and 2 inscriptions are located about midway between the sacred site of Thebes, and Hou (named for the Divine Word,
making this appropriate for a rock library of inscriptions. This region is also home to the famous Nag Hammadi library. It is
a local of spirituality, scholarship, and mysticism. Darnell said many inscriptions are titles, CCHorner Wadi El Hol 1 interpretation is
titles of God: Prince of Peace, etc. Worship of Hathor is evident, that is CCH interpretation of most Proto-Sinaitic passages.).
Some inscriptions address comments to neighboring inscription authors. [Darnell, Wadi El Hol. Encyclopedia of Egyptology]

The first Hallelujah. Wadi El Hol 1 may contain the first alphabetic inscription of the Hebrew word of rejoicing and praise, Hallelujah. The letters of the word illustrate several joyous occasions: healing, resurrection, release into freedom, relaxing by a river, and the birth of a child. A decipherment of Wadi El Hol 1 is proposed: Lord of Peace, Hallelujah!
A Pictographic Epic. Wadi El Hol 1 has an extravaganza of expressive potential.
- HEADLINE: "Lord of Peace, Hallelujah!" Rejoice, brothers (Hebrew, achim) of Egypt (Khem)! This multi-layer message is a forwards and backwards play on Hebrew and Egyptian words KHM which interprets to brothers AKHIM, spirits AKH, life anKH, life chai, magic Hka, pharaoh's shepherd staff HKa, and Egypt KHM.
- THEME: The theme is peace and unity
- PEACE: Illustrated as calm water in the midst of a stormy sea. The idea that nations, and even heaven and earth are joined like brothers. The formula for peace is a leader with a sword of power, a scroll of wisdom, as the shepherd of the multitudes.
- PEACE - The sword, scroll, leader's staff, and water. A formula for peace is an inspiring caring leader like a shepherd with power to defend (the sword), wisdom (the scroll), and enough liquid resources (water) to meet the needs of the multitudes (water).
- DEATH: #1 head without a face. Anonymous dead. Universal - all face (facebook @covidfaces). #2 grave, burrow, buried. SLM then is solemnity of grief. #16 is death: frayed garment, end of a river in delta, merged with ocean.
- UNITY: complemented by 21 instances of unity, such as a keyhole and open door; head and heart; the head and body, the ruler and a scroll; water and land; mouth, voice, and breath; male and female; fibre, cord, and fabric; head and hair; mother and child, and the combined strength of the people of a nation. (nationembryo and womb, mouth and speech, word, song; smoke and fire. Origin)
- JOY: The word Hallelujah, is written with pictographs that illustrate 7 scenarios of joy, such as healing, release from bondage, divine epiphany, the birth of a child, and resurrection in triumph over death.
- TITLES OF GOD: Lord of Peace, Son of God, God of Heavens, God of Gods, Hidden God, God of Tabernacles, Mighty God, and Eternal God.

- SAMSON, MOSES, JESUS AND MARY! Samson is strongly depicted. He killed a thousand Philistines with a jawbone of a donkey, had his magic hair shaved, and his eyes put out. He pushed pillars to knock the Philistine temple down. The elements of his story, a jawbone, a bald head, hair, a weeping eye, a man pushing pillars, thunderous vibrations, and a flat tent are depicted. It is even possible to read the name of Delilah, the lover who betrayed Samson, in the space with a double instead of Hallelujah. It creates a scene where he roars her name as he destroys the temple and crushes his nations enemies and himself. Samson would have been a legendary contemporary figure in the time of the inscription, well known to Hebrews and Philistines. Perhaps the Philistines invented the alphabet! This scene of hellish suffering and destruction is the counterpoint to images of joy, healing, resurrection, and heavenly ascension. The hero is "a man of sorrows, well-aquainted with grief" Isaiah 53:3.
- MOSES: The centerpiece of the inscription #7. Staff changes to serpent #5 and back again #4, Moses strikes rock #9. with staff #8, and water #10 comes out. Moes parts the sea #5 - #10. Procession of people feet #9 behind him. #6.
- JESUS: The central figure #7 could represent a child in mother's bosom #6, #8. Three heqa staffs #7, #8, #4 represent three visiting kings. #9 angle may represent kneeling of someone paying homage to the Christ child. #9 may be a yud arm, the strong arm representing father, #8, #6 bosom of mother, and #7 infant in the bosom of the mother. Feet next to water may allude to Jesus' ability to walk on water. #1 Ra can play the role of the Star of Bethlehem. It is first because it was the harbinger of the holy birth.
- RIGHT HAND, HOLY ARM #9
- HIDDEN (#9) MANNA (#10 MN) #11-#13 AA, MANNA. H (life, Heh eternal)
- GREATNESS: There are 3 forms of greatness. One is a man knocked on his back, who nevertheless still raises his fist in determination. Another is the small seed that when watered grows into a great tree. It speaks of life and death, spirit and the mundane.
- HAPPY UNION: Finally, a happy ending is achieved by linking the end to the beginning. There is a reunion of father (strong arm #9, staff #8), mother (bosom #8, #6), and child #7 (conception lightning stroke #10, embryo with umbilical cord in utero #11) to illustrate the overall theme of unity, joy and peace.
- Finishing with death #16, and starting again, one encounters the keyhole #1, the house with the open door #2, and the word PEACE slm #3, #4, #5, then the gate of heaven, or the column of light ascension. #6, #8, with the liberated sould. The end links to the beginning. (The polyvalent symbolism of masterpiece attests to a high degree of cleverness in ancient times!)
Wadi El Hol 1 appears to contain a grand biblical survey and prophecy in the spirit of Isaiah 9:6 and Handel's Messiah: Unto us a child is born, a son is given. His name shall be called Wonderful! Counselor! The Mighty God! The Everlasting Father! The Prince of Peace! It blends Hebrew, Philistine, and Egyptian culture. One can contemplate it at length and find further insight.
Wadi El Hol 1 is a remarkable example of how an inscription can have a main message as well as other harmonics. It is an example of how a world could be created as the corollaries o a single word.
