The Hieroglyphs Handbook: Teach Yourself Ancient Egyptian

About this book

Learn to decipher the language of the pharaohs and solve the riddle of the pyramids with "The Hieroglyphs Handbook". This is hieroglyphics for beginners; an opportunity for the child on the street to walk into a museum and using their handbook translate an Ancient Egyptian inscription from scratch. A visit to the museum will never be the same again and a trip to Egypt will become evenmore of an adventure. The book is divided into three sections: a background history giving the historical context; a practical section explaining how the language works and is written; and a glossary/phrasebook containing the alphabet and all the essential words and phrases.
