Decoding Egyptian Hieroglyphs: How to Read the Secret Language of the Pharaohs

I really enjoyed this book. It had really interesting information on the basics of Hieroglyphs. I will probably need to read it again to really understand some ideas. The book also had a lot of background on the why of the writing of hieroglyphs, so I was able to learn about ancient Egyptian culture as well. I recommend it to anyone interested in Hieroglyphs and ancient Egypt.
