Egyptian Language: Easy Lessons in Egyptian Hieroglyphics Reviews

  • Les Wilson

    I enjoyed this book in spite of criticisms regarding Sir Ernest Alfred Wallace Budge.

  • Dr.

    Budge is both adored and despised by modern egyptologists, his copious amount of work cannot be completely accepted or ignored. This is a good introduction to understanding the syntax of the three types of ancient Egyptian, some of the basic terms, and the functionality of the language as part of life.

  • Tracy

    totally recommend. it has lots of glyphs illustrated with their meanings. It is very simply explained and a easy read.

  • Brett

    Budge. You're probably gonna read him if you're taking a serious look at Egyptian heiroglyphs. Outdated, but more or less necessary. He made significant progress, and more has been made since.

  • Averill

    I liked Allen's Middle Egyptian better. I dont feel as if he made himself clear.

  • Philip Clark- Yvonne Clark

    Utterly Useless

    Utterly useless, a rip-off. Only the front cover and title page!!! I am dishusted. Seems Amaxon requires another six words.
