Dating back to 3,400 BC, the earliest examples of Egyptian writing adorned temple walls and provided great insight into a long lost culture. Our 28 block hieroglyphic set is a great way to introduce your child on a rich and historic culture and language. The set contains the Egyptian alphabet single-consonant phonograms, multi-consonant phonograms, determinants and numbers, as well as an embossed hieroglyphic puzzle.
