This is the first of three volumes exploring some of the most
remarkable insights into Ancient Egypt to have come to light in
modern times. The first two volumes deal with the Rosetta Stone, an
outstanding archaeological discovery that has supplied the basis
for Egyptian decipherment; the final volume explores the "Stele of
Canopus", discovered in 1866. The significance of the Rosetta Stone
lies in the three different languages that are inscribed onto it:
Koine Greek, Demotic Egyptian, and, crucially, Hieroglyphic. This
has facilitated a vast increase in our understanding of the sacred
language of Ancient Egypt, as well as enhancing our understanding
of the nature of kingship at a time of immense cultural
transformation. First published in 1904, this reissue provides an
accessible general introduction to this fascinating subject, useful
for the amateur enthusiast as well as undergraduate students.
