  Do what it took experts centuries to do-read hieroglyphics, and create sentences of your own, with this ingenious guide. Follow the evolution of this form of communication, its near disappearance, and the fascinating story behind breaking its code. If you can follow a book or tape of a foreign language, you can decipher the inscriptions taken from royal tombs-and if you can't, you'll still get rewarding insight into another culture. 224 pages, 39 b/w illus.,
