About this Event:

An understanding of Egyptian hieroglyphs brings to life a world of fascinating monuments, kings and ancient society. In this two-hour masterclass aimed at anyone 12 or over, renowned Egyptologist Bill Manley takes a fresh and accessible approach to this ancient language, explaining the mysteries of hieroglyphs without jargon or technical terms. He assumes no knowledge of grammar or ancient languages and will guide you through inscriptions on a series of stelae, tombs and objects.

Manley has taught Egyptology and hieroglyphs for 20 years and is the author of several bestselling books on ancient Egypt.
