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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTranslated with an Introduction by Toby Wilkinson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Toby Wilkinson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0141395958\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780141395951\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/03\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.80h x 5.10w x 0.80d","brand":"Toby Wilkinson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43994745307391,"sku":"9780141395951","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3be2ffda-88c9-4624-bac9-c1afd41547fb.jpg?v=1683331939","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/writings-from-ancient-egypt-toby-wilkinson-9780141395951","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
