Rough Stuff
Published by Boogers , 2 years ago
I'm diving into some research for a story I'm writing, and I had bought this book for the value and because the reviews on it were all very positive. Once I got the book, I found that I couldn't even get through the first page even though it was written in English. I just could NOT follow what was being said, and I'm an avid reader with a college degree! Academic text is not new for me! What's more, is I found a MUCH easier to digest book and the author had made recommendations for other resources into learning to read E. Hieroglyphs, and Budge was the very first name and ONLY author that was listed as someone to AVOID because so much of Budge's work is inaccurate. Now, I'm a beginner myself, so I can't vouch for that one way or another, but given that Budge's work was SO dang hard for me to read and it's rather dated- I'm trying to find learning guides as authentic as possible, and given the history of Ancient Egypt and "Egyptology", I'd much rather not learn from some super old dude who likely wasn't checking his orientalism & racism. Just sayin'.
Outstanding!

I found this book very well written. The author goes through the history of hieroglyphics. He then teaches the reader to read almost any hieroglyphic script. This book is mostly grammer, but believe me once the reader has read it, they will be glad they did, otherwise they won't be able to read any hieroglyphic script. I recomend this book to all beginers. I assure that they will not be disapointed.
great for egyptology enthusists

Book is very detailed review of heiroglyphics. My daughter is fasinated with the subject so it is an excellent addition to her library. This is not a book for the casual reader.

This book may be old, but is helpful for beginners. It has lists of nouns, verbs, etc. and not only the symbol, but the word in ancient Egyptian and English. It has information on the Rosetta Stone as well. I found this to be a book worth buying.
