Egyptian Hieroglyphs for Complete Beginners by Bill Manley

Egyptian Hieroglyphs for Complete Beginners by Bill Manley

This is the first guide to reading hieroglyphs that begins with Egyptian monuments themselves. Assuming no knowledge on the part of the reader, it shows how to interpret the information on the inscriptions in a step-by-step journey through the script and language of ancient Egypt.

We enter the world of the ancient Egyptians and explore their views on life and death, Egypt and the outside world, humanity and the divine. The book draws on texts found on some thirty artifacts ranging from coffins to stelae to obelisks found in museums in Egypt, America, and Europe, and selected across two thousand years. The texts are then explained clearly, and are supported by full translations, photographs, and line drawings.

Bill Manley is a tutor in archaeology at the University of Glasgow, in Scotland, a research associate of the national museums of Scotland, and an honorary research fellow at the University of Liverpool. He is a contributor to How to Read Egyptian Hieroglyphs and the editor of The Penguin Historical Atlas of Ancient Egypt.
