Even if you don't know anything about the Sumerians, how have you never seen Hieroglyphics before?
Yeah, no way the Sumerians just walked east to Egypt. No way.

There's also the slight issue of that not being a Sumerian. :-)
I'm FAR from an Egyptologist, but I'm pretty sure those are both just Ramesses III wearing the White Crown of Upper (southern) Egypt instead the red crown, the combined crown, or his nemes headdress.
Your probably right. The glyphs to the top right of the image are exactly the same, I'd guess a name.
I know enough to say confidently that it's a name. The loop around it is a "cartouche," which is almost exclusively used for royal names. I'm less certain it's Ramesses III, but it seems to track.
Or, it's a two hundred thousand year old cone-headed alien. Y'know. 50/50.
West?
WEST. I fucked up, OK?
