James Rumford
You Can Write Hieroglyphs
Paperback
(Manoa Press April 23, 2015)
Egyptian hieroglyphs—ancient, mysterious, elegant—have fascinated people for thousands of years. In this book are the most common hieroglyphs—the ones the Egyptians used to spell out their words. Each hieroglyph is taken from a 3500-year-old papyrus written by an unknown scribe who left us with some of the most beautiful handwriting ever to have been discovered. James Rumford presents each hieroglyph with bold illustrations and shows how each letter was formed. In this way, anyone at any age can copy the elegant style of this ancient scribe and go back to a time when A was an Egyptian vulture, B was a leg, and C was a neatly folded piece of linen cloth.
