Lecture
•peut se lire de droite a gauche, de gauche a droite, et de
haut en bas.
. Une phrase a plusieurs sens dont certains sont caches:
commun, philosophique et religieux
.Comme toutes les langues semitiques anciennes, elle ne
possede pas de voyelles. Elles sont induites. Cela rend
tres difficle la lecture surtout a notre epoque.

4. Hieroglyphe
Que penser des traductions, sont-elles a la hauteur des exigeances que portaient les
scribes de Pharaon.
Avons-nous reellement decripte leurs ecritures sacrees ?
Avons-nous compris leur societe ?
Sommes-nous entres dans les secrets que cette civilisation recele ?
Tout laisse a penser que beaucoup reste a faire, que nous devons aller chercher au
dela des apparences.

Lenore Scott Copyright ©1968
• This book is an excellent introduction to Egyptian Hieroglyphics. It is a thin book and was written so
people like you and I can understand it. I found it very helpful in creating this site.
• The book was reprinted by Barnes & Noble in 1993, but is currently out of print. I have found it in
the "Out of Print" section at barnesandnoble.com. It might also be found at used bookstores and
occasionally on bookstore clearance racks.
