The standard version of analytic Egyptian hieroglyphs is based upon the 26 categories of the Gardiner's Sign List, still the basic standard.

Excellent introduction. Serious, informative and generally well-paced. I think it would help to have a tutor to support study of the later, more technical chapters but you can get a long way with this book as an independent learner. I really appreciated being able to put the skills it teaches to the test in e British Museum, where most of the examples come from.

Students of Egyptian history and culture will find this small book extremely useful. History of Egypt is described from the founding of memphis around 5,000 BCE all the way through the golden ages to the time of Alexander the Great and illustrated with material from acheological research. The book is easily accessible for high school students and beyond.

This particular book is an Atlas of Ancient Egypt. It is a valuable resource for studying the time Period of Ancient Egypt. Provides maps not found in modern Atlas's, and basic historical information about Ancient Egypt.
