Title: Sacred Signs : Hieroglyphs in Ancient Egypt
Description: Oxford, Oxford University Press, 2003. orig.boards, dustwrapper.. 21x13cm, x,157 pp.. Minor rubbing. VG. ¶ 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 Egyptianess, and for rarified 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 post-Champollion, and the powerful fascination hieroglyphs still hold for us today" - Publisher' s description.
