Thank you both! biggrin
Hmmm, maybe I should just convert this to a hieroglyphics discussion thread, then, where anyone can ask questions and answer them. surprised
@Underworld Priestess: I've been using this book called Hieroglyphs without Mystery: An Introduction to Ancient Egyptian Writing by Karl-Theodor Zauzich, and it's pretty good so far. My dad picked up 3 random hieroglyphics books for me at a used bookstore. xd That's the only one of the three I've looked at extensively yet. I'm still in the process of memorizing the basic alphabet symbols. The Zauzich book is nice because it has a good symbol dictionary in the back, and it also shows a nice way of writing the symbols by hand (simplified-ish versions of them so you don't have to spend 20 minutes drawing an intricate vulture, etc.). I mean, I can't think of any situation where you would actually need to write hieroglyphics and not just read them, but writing the letters over and over worked for me when I was learning Japanese, and it's been working for this, too. xd
