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 rarefied
communication with the gods. In this exciting new study, Penelope
Wilson explores the cultural significance of the script with an
emphasis on previously neglected areas such as cryptography, the
continuing decipherment into modern times, and examines the
powerful fascination hieroglyphs still hold for us today. ABOUT THE
SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University
Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area.
These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new
subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis,
perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and
challenging topics highly readable.
