Secret passage to Smokey with hieroglyphics [translation update]

Here's the big one for the week. The passageway to the secret tunnel where Ben some how summons the Smoke Monster. There are hieroglyphics on the door, similar to the ones seen on the countdown clock in The Swan.

Where exactly does Ben go and what does he do to summon the monster? Also, why is he covered is soot when he comes back out? I get the feeling we won't get these answers until a later season.

I've included the original dark shots of the door followed by enhanced shots of the door. If anyone wants to help translate some of the hieroglyphics, please feel free. I'll spend some time working on it as well.

Possible translations [for more go to Doc Arzt's post]
"To summon protection"
"Time to summon strength"
"To summon time protection"
"To summon time power"
"Time summons the power of life"
