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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTranslated with an Introduction by Toby Wilkinson\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48428935676129,"sku":"9780141395951","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0510\/5215\/0960\/files\/Writings-from-Ancient-Egypt.jpg?v=1781827717","url":"https:\/\/50wattsbooks.com\/products\/writings-from-ancient-egypt-penguin-classics","provider":"50 Watts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
