. A book any scholar knows and any interested one should know.
It's a milestone not only in the study of Egyptian language,but in
modern philology. Maybe the style is old looking, but good language is
understandable, no matter when it was written.

Reading
Egyptian
Art
A Hieroglyphic Guide
to Ancient Egyptian Painting and Sculpture

Brian V Hunt
. Wilkinson
is
a
professor
at
the
University
of Arizona (or was) and I believe may
still be directing that institution's work in the Valley of the Kings.
As he points out in this volume, one of the things often missed in
regards to Egyptian art is that it is intended to be "read". Even
paintings and objects in the round are often constructed using
hieroglyphs. The author gives a well written, organized overview of the
rudiments of learning to see into Egyptian art more of what the artist
intended the viewer to see. Very nicely illustrated with an excellent
selection of examples.

one would be likely to see in Egypt or at a museum, and illustrated

Richard Parkinson, curator in the Department of Egyptian Antiquities at
the British Museum), How to Read Egyptian Hieroglyphs makes possible a
deeper appreciation not just of museum displays but of the Egyptian
