Items related to The Little Book of Egyptian Hieroglyphs
Egyptian hieroglyphs are the subject of endless fascination to many. This is the first book to make the basics of hieroglyphs truly easy to understand. Explaining briefly the history and development of the language, it then gives the Egyptian alphabet and shows how simple it is to spell your own name using hieroglyphs. Here, too, is an introduction to the Pharoahs, the Gods, the Nile and the Egyptian calendar, the scribes, and the common texts in tombs, on statues, and in papyrii helping you to recognise all the most common hieroglyphic words and phrases. In short this is the complete introduction for any visitor to Egypt, student of the language, or just the fascinated layman.

Review:
'If you were visiting Egypt this book would be indispensible in helping you to decipher words and names of pharoahs and gods on tombs and monuments. Good value...and a handy size.' -- Amazon reader review
From the Author:
On first visiting Egypt a few years ago, we really wanted a quick and easy way of learning hieroglyphs so that we could enjoy our visit to the ancient monuments even more. We next embarked on writing 'The Keys of Egypt: The Race to Read the Hieroglyphs', an exciting, sad and yet exultant tale of the struggle to decipher Egyptian hieroglyphs and the rediscovery of ancient Egypt. We managed to teach ourselves hieroglyphs, but it was not an easy task, as the available books were very scholarly, out-of-date or far too simplistic. We have tried to fill that gap by writing a book that will give enough information for anyone visiting Egypt or just wanting to have fun with hieroglyphs.
