520 "A noted linguist examines extinct languages, from
Egyptian hieroglyphs to the mysteries of as-yet
undeciphered writings, in this scholarly work. While
certain ancient languages were passed down continuously
through the ages, many others were ignored for centuries.
When scholars began to decipher these extinct languages in
the early nineteenth century, they uncovered previously
inaccessible riches of knowledge and history. Yet much
work remains to be done on undeciphered scripts that
continue to tantalize and perplex us today. In Extinct
Languages , linguist Johannes Friedrich guides readers
through the fascinating world of recovered systems of
writing, including Egyptian and Hittite hieroglyphs,
Babylonian cuneiform, and others. He also explains the
methodology and principles behind the deciphering process
that will one day crack ancient mysteries such as the
Indus Valley script."--|cProvided by Freading.
