If you choose only one book to explore hieroglyphs, let this be it. The true story of Jean-Franois, translator of the Rosetta Stone. It will draw you in and hold you.
In addition, the margins are peppered with examples of Egyptian words and their hidden meanings: \"\"There is a long-necked, far-seeing giraffe in `predict,\' \"\" for instance, and \"\"There are strongly woven sandals firmly planted on the ground in `never give up.\' \"\"An afterword provides further information, and a chart of a couple dozen hieroglyphic words offers a glimpse of the translation process.
