For more than 1500 years the hieroglyphs of ancient Egypt defied interpretation but were thought to conceal ancient wisdom and religious secrets.

In Understanding Hieroglyphs, Hilary Wilson provides translations of hundreds of the most commonly used hieroglyphs, with examples from monuments, documents and museum exhibits. At the same time, she explains the significance of the terms used, so that the reader gains a fuller understanding of what the original scribe was trying to convey.
