Hieroglyphs : a very short introduction / Penelope Wilson. by Wilson, Penelope. Oxford University Press, 2004. Call #: 493.1 W752h Subjects Egyptian language -- Writing, Hieroglyphic.   Hieroglyphics. Series Very short introductions ; 113. ISBN:  9780192805027 (pbk.) 0192805029 (pbk.) Description:  130 p. : ill. ; 18 cm. Notes:  "First published as an Oxford University Press Hardback 2003" -- t.p. verso. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references (p. 120-121) and index. Summary:  "Hieroglyphs were far more than a language. They were an omnipresent and all-powerful force in communicating the messages of ancient Egyptian culture for over three thousand years; used as monumental art, as a means of identifying Egyptianness, and for discussions with the gods. Fascination with hieroglyphs is still extremely strong today, and this exciting exploration of their cultural significance reveals previously neglected areas such as cryptography, and looks at the continuing decipherment of hieroglyphs into modern times."--Book jacket.
