''How to Read Egyptian Hieroglyphs'' is a primer on understanding Egyptian hieroglyphs. The text was written by Mark Collier (Egyptologist), and Bill Manley, c. 1998.〔http://africanhistory.about.com/cs/egyptologybks/gr/aapr-Hieroglyph.htm〕〔http://www.ucpress.edu/book.php?isbn=9780520239494〕 The standard version of analytic Egyptian hieroglyphs is based upon the 26 categories of the Gardiner's Sign List (about 700 signs), still the basic standard. According to WorldCat, the book is widely known and is held in 1062 libraries.〔()〕 ''How to Read Egyptian Hieroglyphs'' uses a simple approach with just six categories: * Signs depicting people or parts of the human body * Signs depicting creatures or parts of their bodies * Signs depicting sky, earth, water or plants * Other small signs * Other tall signs * Other broad signs With the older styles and outlines of hieroglyphs being redone and rethought by modern Egytologists, new approaches to books on the Egyptian language and the hieroglyphs have been tried. ==References== *Collier, Mark, and Manley, Bill, ''How to Read Egyptian Hieroglyphs'', c 1998, University of California Press, 179 pp, (with a ''word Glossary'', p 151-61: Title Egyptian-English vocabulary; also an "Answer Key", 'Key to the exercises', p 162-73) (hardcover, ISBN 0-520-21597-4) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「How to Read Egyptian Hieroglyphs」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
