'Man perishes; his corpse turns to dust; all his relatives pass away. But writings make him remembered' In ancient Egypt, words had magical power. 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. Translated with an Introduction by Toby Wilkinson

"The aim of this book is twofold: first, to provide beginning students with step-by-step guidance in drawing hieroglyphs; and secondly, to supplement the observations of Gardiner in the Sign List at the back of his Egyptian Grammar. The examples include all 24 of the common forms of "alphabetic" (monoconsonantal) signs, and a selection of other signs that are either difficult to draw or that call for additional comment - a total of about 200 in all. Comparative material, emphasizing Old Kingdom models, is presented in 175 line drawings. By familiarizing themselves with this material, along with the points made in the Introduction, students will, at the same time, learn a good deal about hieroglyphic palaeography"--Publisher's description.

The relationship between the sequence of the creation cycle and the Egyptian 28 ABGD alphabet. This book focus on the relationship between the sequence of the creation cycle and the Egyptian ABGD alphabets; the principles and principals of Creation; the cosmic manifestation of The Egyptian Alphabets ; the three Primary Phases of the Creation Cycle and their numerical values; the creation theme of each of the three primary phases, as well as an individual analysis of each of the 28 ABGD alphabetical letters that covers each' s role in the Creation Cycle, its sequence significance ,its sound and writing form significance, its numerical significance, its names & meanings thereof, as well as its peculiar properties and nature/impact/influence. This book is divided into five parts containing a total of 35 chapters. Part I. Egyptian Alphabetical Letters of Creation Cycle has four chapters: Chapter 1: Historical Deception of the (Ancient) Egyptian Linguistics will clear the intended confusion to hide the alphabetical form of writing in Ancient Egypt—as being the archetype of all languages throughout the world. Chapter 2: The Principles and Principals of Creation covers the basic components of the creation cycle in the Ancient Egyptian accounts. Chapter 3: The Cosmic Manifestation of the Egyptian Alphabets covers the natural orderly progression of the emanated divine energy, and the its manifestation in the monthly lunar mansion changes; the correlations between the sequence of the ABGD letters and their numerical values. Chapter 4: The Three Primary Phases of the Creation Cycle covers the nature of the creation cycle consisting of three phases, as found in the Ancient Egyptian accounts and later on duplicated in Sufi (and other) writings. Part II. The Conceiving Phase/Ennead has ten chapters—5 through 14: Chapter 5: The Theme of the First Phase/Ennead covers the theme of the First Phase/Ennead (1-9 'A' -'T.' ) as the objectification of a circumscribed area of undifferentiated energy/matter, wherein the world will be manifested. It consists of the establishment of order and the co-factors of life-forms as the foundation for the world. Phase One consists basically of three consecutive groups. Each of which consists of 3 stages/letters/numbers. Chapters 6 through 14 cover the first nine letters—each covering its role in the Creation Cycle, its sequence significance, its sound and writing form significance, its numerical significance, its names and meanings thereof, as well as its peculiar properties and nature/impact/influence. Part III. The Orderly Manifestation Phase/Ennead has ten chapters—15 through 24: Chapter 15: The Theme of the Second Phase/Ennead covers the theme of the Second Phase/Ennead, the orderly manifestation of creation. This Second Phase deals with the creation of the noumenal and phenomenal planes—the two grand subdivisions of the manifested world. The letters of this Phase are therefore arranged in two groups of four letters and the middle letter 'N' overlaps the two planes: 'Y', 'K', 'L', 'M' 'N' 'S', 'A.' , 'F', 'S.' Chapters 16 through 24 cover the second nine letters—each covering same topics as in the prior group of nine letters. Part IV. The Reunification Phase/Ennead has ten chapters—25 through 34: Chapter 25 covers the theme of the Third Phase/Ennead which is the Ascending and Reunification Phase that leads to a NEW Alpha—Heru-Akhti of The Two Horizons. Chapters 26 through 34 cover the third nine letters—each covering same topics as in the other two groups of nine letters. Part V being chapter 35 covers the 28th Mansion/Letter 'Gh'—representing The New Alpha. To learn about the linguistic features [words and sentences formations, etc.] of the Egyptian Alphabetical language, refer to other books by same author, namely: 1. The Ancient Egyptian Universal Writing Modes 2. The Musical Aspects of The Ancient Egyptian Vocalic Language
