Rated 5 out of 5 by Merira from EGYPTIAN HIEROGLYPHS Only into Lecture/lesson 5. Prof. Briar is a great teacher. I can easily follow this so far. I enjoyed his course on the History of Ancient Egypt VERY MUCH. I have a fascination with Hieroglyphs. Have tried learn them on my own before and so some of the material is not new to me. Bob's course is well organized and that makes learning easier especially with backgeround for why some things are the way they are is explained.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Chris P from Egyptian Hieroglyphs... A Road to Understanding!!! I bought the original course with Dr. Bob Brier. I am only too happy to add this to my collection.

Rated 5 out of 5 by fossillover from dynamic lecturer The subject matter is challenging, but well the worth the time you put into it. If you don't keep up with learning the new concepts and vocabulary, the course will quickly get past you and be of no use. One might think that the subject itself is pretty boring, but the lectures also include a lot of information about the history of ancient Egypt and its art. After all, writing doesn't occur in a vacuum. The lecturer is very interesting and engaging. I was quite challenged at the very end of the lectures when we were to translate texts from tombs and temples. I intend to go back through the grammar and vocabulary and give those texts another try. I was thrilled with this course!

Rated 5 out of 5 by manuel23 from If you have the smallest interest - you WILL learn In Decoding Egyptian Hieroglyphs, you will learn the proper recognition of the symbols, their meaning, variants and proper ordering in order to read them in context on a basic level. From there you are given sources that are available from other sources to continue your studies. I have a need of this course to assist my research - and it has not disappointed - I have not completed the course as yet, in full but it has done so much to advance my work already. This will continue to be an on the job situation for me and ongoing. I am fortunate to have on hand some of Dr. Brier's reference materials list in my personal library.. And Dr. Brier's methodology is wonderful - his love for the subject comes through as you in each lesson - he invites you to love it as much as he does. I consider this one of the best ancient language courses I have ever taken, excepting Biblical Hebrew(!)... Five Stars, two thumbs up.
