In this short course participants will get a thorough introduction to reading Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs and learn how to begin to read real Egyptian inscriptions. Hieroglyphs were used for well over 3000 years to write the Egyptian language in monumental settings and was the script some of the most important texts were written in. In this course we will look at the basics of how to read real hieroglyph inscriptions, using real texts from monumental settings in Egypt as well as texts from the collections at World Museum Liverpool. No prior knowledge of hieroglyphs is needed and although no knowledge of Ancient Egypt is required, a basic understanding of the culture and history will be beneficial to participants. We aim to make our courses as accessible as possible and if there is anything we can put into place to help you attend please get in contact.
