Description:The terminology used to describe ancient Egyptian writing has become somewhat confused over the years. Even the words "hieroglyph" and "hieroglyphic" have come to be used interchangeably, and often incorrectly. This introduction to the intriguing realm of Egyptian hieroglyphs helps pull back the curtain which still partly shrouds the world of ancient Egypt. Close analyses of existing remains by language experts have shown that hieroglyphs go back in history to at least 3100 B.C. Today, the distinctive characters drawn by scribes remain graceful and intriguing, even though the style has not been practiced in Egypt for almost 2,000 years. Authors Joseph and Lenore Scott offer a simplified, yet lively description of how hieroglyphs were written and provide insight into their reading and advice on how to study the language. Chapters deal with the alphabet, bilaterals, determinatives, writing direction, writing tools, pronunciation, vocabulary, typical sentences, grammar, the calendar, numbers, the Rosetta Stone, forms of writing, cartouche reading, much more.
