Sometimes, language itself is a puzzle, and the early Egyptian hieroglyphics are a great example of that. Dating back to 3,400 BC, the earliest examples of Egyptian writing adorned temple walls and provided great insight into a long lost culture. This 28 block hieroglyphic set is a great way to educate your child on a rich and historic culture and language. The set contains the Egyptian alphabet (single-consonant "phonograms") multi-consonant phonograms, determinants and numbers. An accompanying guide booklet is included as an introduction to some basic concepts about reading hieroglyphs, as well as an embossed hieroglyphic puzzle.
