Papyrus Painting - Hieroglyphic Alphabet and Numbers with Thoth

Product Description:  Hand painted papyrus. A simplified  hieroglyphic alphabet and numbers.   24 hieroglyph symbols commonly used, along with the the Egyptian god Thoth - also known as the "Scribe of Ma'at".

Various modern scholars attempted to decipher the glyphs over the centuries,  the real breakthrough in decipherment began with the discovery of the Rosetta Stone by Napoleon's troops in 1799. Jean Francois Champollion made the complete decipherment by the 1820s: It is a complex system, writing figurative, symbolic, and phonetic all at once, in the same text, the same phrase, I would almost say in the same word.

*****NOTICE**** Changes implemented by the Ministry of Antiquities requires all papyrus to be inspected by an expert - what this means is that while your order will show as shipped, it may in fact be on hold at the Cairo airport pending inspection. For this reason we are not able to combine papyrus orders with anything else, i.e. papyrus and jewelry, or glassworks etc. If you are ordering something else in addition to the papyrus you must order it separately. We apologize for any delays that may occur, ultimately it is about the preservation of the history of Egypt.
