Ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphs ANTHRO X402

Course Description

Gain familiarity with the most common hieroglyphic signs and their elementary grammar using a textbook based on "The Shipwrecked Sailor," a 4,000-year-old tale of adventure and magic. You relate these language exercises to Egyptian history and religion. Get an introduction to royal and divine names frequently encountered by travelers and museum visitors. Study the simple formulae likely to be seen on funerary objects on exhibit. Each class session includes discussion and recitation, and concludes with a brief slide lecture highlighting some aspect of writing and literature in ancient Egypt.
