Description

Egyptian culture is divided from us by several millennia, a lost people, and a dead language. We will discover much about this fascinating civilization from its physical remains, but possibly the greatest insights into the Egyptian mind come from Egyptian hieroglyphs. They reveal the priorities, concerns and beliefs of the Egyptians – a complete worldview. Unlike the western alphabet, which is an arbitrary set of symbols not anchored in fact, each and every Egyptian hieroglyph visually denotes a concept central to Egyptian thinking. The language and its written form is intimately bound up with the imaginative world of the Egyptians. Here Barry Kemp presents 100 of the Egyptian hieroglyphs to offer get admission to to this unique culture. Kemp takes us on a journey in the course of the Egyptian mind, revealing not only aspects of each day life in Ancient Egypt, but progressively building a picture of the historical and mythological references that were the cornerstones of Egyptian thought. This fascinating book helps us get inside a long-vanished world.
