Hieroglyphs And Arithmetic Of The Ancient Egyptian Scribes

This introductory guide for beginners provides an introduction to
the decipherment of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic writing and
arithmetic, with a little light hearted humour.
All the hieroglyphs portrayed within this book (over 780) are provided free
of charge as keyboard characters. They allow the reader to create their own
messages, names, numbers and designs which can be easily printed. These
hieroglyphs are compatible with all software packages that run on both
Windows based and Macintosh computers.
This step-by-step guide introduces the reader to the peculiar style of
arithmetic and units of measure employed by the ancient Egyptians, from
counting loaves and recording the strength of beer to the volume of stone
in a pyramid and the recording time.
