Decoding Egyptian Hieroglyphs: How to Read the Secret Language of the Pharaohs
Language: English
Published by Chronicle Books, San Francisco, 2001
ISBN 10: 0811832252 ISBN 13: 9780811832250
Paperback. Condition: Fine. 171 pages, colour illustrations; 24 cm. Firm binding, clean inside copy. *** "For beginners and Egyptologists alike, reading hieroglyphs provides fascinating insights into the land and lore of the pyramids. Decoding Egyptian Hieroglyphs is the only fully illustrated, easy-to-use guide to the meaning and mystery behind this ancient language. A history of hieroglyphs and instructions for how to read them are complemented by vocabulary lists and photographs of real inscriptions. In each chapter, skill-building exercises weave together with details of Egyptian life. Who could have imagined that the sign for the word 'millions' is a lizard because Egypt was once overrun with reptiles? Hieroglyphs literally paint portraits of the ancients, depicting everyone from the pharaoh in his court to the farmer along the flooded Nile. Decoding Egyptian Hieroglyphs reveals the beauty and hidden marvels of one of the world's most intriguing cultures. / Bridget McDermott is at work on her doctoral thesis on the ancient Egyptian military and is a media consultant on Egyptian archaeology. She lives in England." - Publisher. Size: 8vo.
