I'm very familiar with most of the glyphs but the language described by Egyptology seems so alien that it would be very difficult for me to learn. The primary reason I haven't done it is that I believe it's unlikely to provide any new leads for research or new clues to their culture whether I am right or wrong. If I am right linguists have already extracted about as much data as exists and if I'm wrong my puny contributions to the field will matter little. While I lack any expertise in the field, if I am right there are numerous glyphs I understand that Egyptology does not.
Obviously Egyptology has something very real that they are interpreting as language about gods and magic but I've never seen any interpretation or translation that obeys my primal assumption that all people make sense all the time in terms of their premises. I'd almost have to give up this assumption to even begin the daunting task of learning a language that is so different than those I know. I believe that what Egyptology has that is real in their translations is two fold; chiefly that the vocabulary didn't change before" the book of the dead" but also that Egyptology made the exact same errors in interpretation of Ancient Language as the authors of the "book of the dead".
In very real ways our world is a confusion of Ancient Language that has evolved for 4000 years and been affected by modern science for 400 years. Our world is still exists on the ruins of the "tower of babel". Many of our fundamental assumptions spring from the nature and effects of Ancient Language.
And consider as well that we all must adhere to what we believe: If I learned to read glyphs my beliefs would probably remain intact and I'd just be a heretic who reads glyphs. There are examples of this.
