The Art of Egyptian Hieroglyphics is a handsomely presented introduction to ancient Egyptian art.
Introductory chapters discussing the deciphering of hieroglyphics and the artistic techniques involved, are followed by stunning reproductions of masterpieces of the genre, ranging from the discoveries in the Valley of the Kings and the Valley of the Queens to the graphic accounts of everyday life to be found in the lesser-known but equally intriguing Valley of the Artisans.
