Synopsis

A practical teach-yourself course on ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs for the general reader.

A series of 43 exercises accompanies an easy to follow ten-step guide and is supported by a reference section of sign-lists and a short dictionary at the end of the text. Background notes on general topics including gods, royal dynasties and principal sites aim to help the reader to understand the historical concept.
