Description

A hand-drawn map with picture symbols at the back of the book is also useful as it shows where these objects were found and allows the reader to understand how the items are connected. Their unique and personal insights are coupled with extensive photography of the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the World in Giza and the Pyramids.

Greece and Rome somehow feel more familiar, whereas Ancient Egypt seems very different, with its animal-headed gods and its tombs; it is something about that combination of antiquity and mystery that is endlessly appealing.This successful and highly-esteemed British Museum reference work is now republished in a new pocket-sized edition. Riordan jumps from the Ancient Greek world of Percy Jackson to an adventure based on the myths of Ancient Egypt. Published between 1898 and 1937, and long out of print, the catalogues were re-issued in facsimile by publishers Aris and Philips in the 1970s alongside titles newly commissioned, based on more recent examination of elements of the Petrie Collection by contemporary experts. The final chapter is most valuable, as it gives the reader a series of double-page infographics which detail some of the historical content; such as mummification and ‘the journey of the dead’.

With an attractive layout and full-colour illustrations throughout, this slim volume offers a gentle introduction to an enchanting subject, explaining how hieroglyphs work and providing examples. It is accepted by you that Daunt Books has no control over additional charges in relation to customs clearance. Engaging specialists in interpreting ancient artifacts in Egypt is absolutely necessary in establishing a credible hypothesis.Reading the hieroglyphs of ancient Egypt reveals much about the worldview of a civilisation that rose to prominence 5000 years ago and flourished for thousands of years.
