Thanks to Erin from Popular Mechanics for sending this over.

A new poster promoting Lost's sixth and final season recently surfaced on the Internet—and in addition to a line up of the cast, both past and present, it contains some hieroglyphics to consider. PM sent the poster to Dr. James Allen, Wilbour Professor of Egyptology and Chair of Egyptology and Ancient Western Asian Studies at Brown University—the man who gave the first indication that the mysterious four-toed statue was not Anubis, as many had assumed, but Taweret, the half-hippo, half-croc Egyptian goddess who protected mothers and infants. Allen had this to say about the poster: "The hieroglyphs spell out two Egyptian words, meaning 'Who is the guide?' or 'Who is the leader?'" We'll leave the interpretation of that up to you.

Episode 5x12 Dead is Dead - Hieroglyphics on Wall in Temple

Hey All,
Once again we saw some more ancient hieroglyphics in LOST, but this time in Episode 5x05 This Place is Death they appear on the outer wall of the Temple.

Jin sees the glyphs shortly after he flashes right after Smokey attacks Rousseau's team.

Below is a screencap of some possible translations using a Glyph Chart and some effort by reader Another Other.

NOTE: These are not confirmed, but the reader's interpretations of the Glyphs.

From Our Recapper Anna: Thing is, I'm not sure totally if it is phonetic or logogramatic...if I were to go with the latter, there’s a couple of symbols for "time" there...something perhaps about "knowledge of 3 sons"..."water"...something about a vessel...

From Another Other: I am by NO means a glyph expert, but I thought it would be fun to give it a shot. I have my own heiroglyphic translator book that I used along with your website. This is what I came up with:
