A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Unlock the mysteries of ancient Egypt, practice in deciphering magic spells, the cartouche names and titles of the Pharaohs, the Book of the Dead, stories, the secret knowledge of ancient scribes. A comprehensive practical guide to reading the ancient scribal text of Egypt, packed with methods and examples of translation, vocabulary and exercises with answers. The method of the practice course avoids the use of detailed grammar knowledge and relies on learned word order syntax very much like a child learns to speak and read his own language, by listening, use and repetition. This book is dedicated to give the student of hieroglyphs a comprehensive source of examples of hieroglyphic text translation. Learning to translate hieroglyphic text is best done by the use of numerous examples and exercises which this book provides. The student should persevere with these studies in order to build up knowledge and confidence in their own interpretations. The key to learning any language is vocabulary and repetition. It takes time and much practice to recognise words embedded in a line of text, but again this comes with experience. Unlike other publications, I have provided full methods of translation in the text and complete answers to the exercises in the Appendix, this is to ensure that the student can check his own interpretations in order to gain confidence.
