التاريخ
• A history of the French occupation of Egypt (1798-1801), the scholars and scientists who accompanied the expedition, and the beginnings of Egyptomania, which took the world by storm in the early nineteenth century.
• Contains a new foreword and material outlining the contribution of the little-known Arabic scholars from the Golden Age of Islam – scientists and visionaries who nearly cracked the code of hieroglyphs 1000 years before Champollion, among them Ibn Washiyya, Dhu al-Nun and Ibn Maslama, still unknown in the west.
• Focuses on the story of the inscription found at Rosetta in the Nile Delta which held the key to deciphering ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs—the Rosetta Stone.
• Written for the general reader interested in one of the most iconic and important objects to have survived from the ancient world.
