The HieroGlyph Library program is designed to give beginners to the ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphics language a head-start. It offers the user access to some of the most common symbols including all the 1 consonat symbols and over 200 other 2 and 3 consonant symbols. Each symbol can be selected in a number of different ways and, once selected, is given both a transliteration and a translation, enabling the user to get to grips with the Egyptian language faster.
Our Review: The fascinating world of the ancient Egyptian language finally comes to your desktop thanks to this wonderful application. The generous number of symbols and translations on offer (remember Hierogyph Library is a free lesson) are sorted into groups relating to such things as the human body, creatures, plants or the sun and sky, each individual symbol is then numbered making for fast and efficient navigation. Accompanying this superb little program is a comprehensive web-site which goes into much more detail and helps to explain some of the translations. Highly recommended.
