Even better than not citing her sources, Starlight is referencing a history that Twilight is just completely unfamiliar with. I think only Discord and Pinkie Pie could possibly understand what the Hell is going on xD .

Whst can she do? There legitimate commissions and Rarity doesnt know where the money comes from. And then the Taxpony comes with the tax bill on her castle.

The Egyptians hieroglyphs were meant to symbolize common things the people would see and be easy to understand. Like birds, wheat, bowls, snakes, and so on. This was so when they used the symbols to construct words, the explanation of the word was derived from the meaning of the combined symbols. This is why they said their words had the magical property to instantly transmit the information of said word just by its utterance. Like casting a spell of knowledge, which is also why the word: spelling has to do with magic and the creation of words. ^;)

I mean she and Celestia are apparently conversing in Egyptian no problem, so she must’ve done some research.
–Hello, Starlight.
–Praise Atum! Praise Kek!

And Starlight buys it at the tax sale.
I like it. Twilight doesn’t know yet, but when she finds out…
And Starlight is using Twilight’s money to commission them.

Can’t much about ancient Egyptian, but I do not that it’s written in vertical columns. This looks like it’s done left to right.
