This review is from: Egyptian Hieroglyphs (Paperback)
This book provides a history of Egyptian writing, scribes, hieroglyphs, grammar, numbers and gods. It also includes an interesting section of English-hieroglyphs vocabulary. The authors tell the readers about the decipherment of the ancient language and its importance. Well illustrated, this is a wonderful introductory book, for new students.

This review is from: Egyptian Hieroglyphs (Paperback)
Some kids get carried away with the code-breaking aspects of hieroglyphics, and this is the book for them. It gives you step by step - the basic one-character alphabet, the two-character sounds, the three characters, and so on. Then it adds the determinatives - man or woman, document, animal, etc. It talks about scribes and their tools, of course! Then this book leads your child through the pronunciation of the Egyptian language, giving typical sentences and showing how they would be written in hieroglyphs. It gives grammar, shows the numbering systems. It's a very complete book. The 8-page vocabulary section is wonderful - your kids will go crazy. My only negative comment on the book is that some of the printed hieroglyphics look blurred or sloppy. But overall, this is a book your older child may find completely engrossing.
