The Archaeological Institute of America at San Diego presents the answer
to your lifelong dream: the most exciting tour of Egypt you can
imagine.  Exciting, because while you visit the wonders of this ancient
land, you will  actually read and understand many of those little
pictures that cover the temples, tombs, and monuments. You will see --
and now, you will understand. Here's how...

Exclusive to this tour is the new book HIEROGLYPHS for TRAVELERS, a
brief field guide that actually teaches you to translate into English
the names of the pharaohs, their queens, their nobles, their gods, and
their adventures...in minutes!  Although the study if the ancient
writing may be the work of a lifetime, you will learn enough here to
understand the magical formulas and curses that few travelers can read
or even recognize.   Now you can!   Written by Egyptologists, the book
is provided free to our group, compliments of the authors, for you to
test on site in Egypt.

You will visit the famous Egyptian Museum in Cairo where you will read
the names of kings and translate glyphs on Tutankhamon's alabaster cup.
At Giza you will read the curse in the tomb of the nobleman Idu, and
then -- enter-- if you dare. At Karnak you will now understand the
glyphs on Hatshepsut's 100 foot tall obelisk while others only stand and
wonder.  At the temple at Abydos you will read names in the cartouches
on the famous King List.

Hieroglyphs for Travelers is also an exciting guide to the temples,
tombs, and monuments that directs you to their enchanting secrets, site
by site, and reveals ancient mysteries that even the Egyptian guides do
not know.
