Each chapter introduces a new aspect of hieroglyphic writing or Middle Egyptian grammar, accompanied by exercises that reinforce learning and build reading skills progressively. The authors' extensive experience teaching hieroglyphs to non-specialists informs their clear and engaging instructional style. Beyond linguistic instruction, the guide provides insights into ancient Egyptian society, touching on topics such as administration, family life, and beliefs about the afterlife. This holistic approach enriches the reader's understanding of the cultural and historical context in which the hieroglyphs were used.
