A collection of rare texts from Ancient Egypt, newly translated for this essential editionThe fascination that Ancient Egypt holds in our minds has many sources, but at the heart of it lie hieroglyphics. Preserved carved in stone or inked on papyri, hieroglyphic writings give a unique insight into an awe-inspiring but also deeply mysterious culture.For this collection, Toby Wilkinson has translated a rich selection of pieces, ranging from accounts of battles to hymns to stories to royal proclamations. This extraordinary writing system was for many years seen as the ultimate puzzle, before finally being cracked in the 1820s.
Entertaining and revelatory, this is an essential resource for studying one of humankind's great civilizations.For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more
