Description

In Ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphs Illustrated, explore the logograms for popular concepts such as "sun," "house," and "mountain," as well as more complex ideas such as Ajet, or "sun rising over mountains"; marvel at Tutankhamun's full name as marked on his tomb; and wonder at the Ouroboros, a symbol that shows a snake-like animal that swallows its own tail, representing eternal struggle. Each of more than 150 entries includes a description of the written form and an explanation of its meaning.
