Inscribed on tombs and temple walls, coffins and statues, or inked onto papyri, hieroglyphs give us a unique insight into the life of the Egyptian mind. Egyptologist Toby Wilkinson has freshly translated a rich and diverse range of ancient Egyptian writings into modern English, including tales of shipwreck and wonder, obelisk inscriptions, mortuary spells, funeral hymns, songs, satires and advice on life from a pharaoh to his son. Spanning over two millennia, this is the essential guide to a complex, sophisticated culture.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nTranslated with an Introduction by Toby Wilkinson\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780141395951\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.8 x 5.1 x 0.9 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English, Egyptian\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":66562749333808,"sku":"Trans_9780141395951","price":482.77,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/91VHmlL5ZML.jpg?v=1776483406","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/products\/writings-from-ancient-egypt","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
