«El enigma de la piedra» is the Egyptology essay by Christian Jacq, published by Ediciones B in paperback (228 pages, in Spanish).
Christian Jacq explains the fundamentals of hieroglyphic writing in ancient Egypt with an accessible approach: photographs and simple exercises to become familiar with its signs. He recounts the discovery of the Rosetta Stone and Champollion's decipherment, and presents the foundations of this ancient language as an invitation to Egyptology.
Part of the Histórica series from Ediciones B. Translated by Carlos Gómez González; the original French work is «Le petit Champollion illustré» (1994).
For those interested in Egyptology and the history of ancient Egypt who want to begin reading hieroglyphs.
Christian Jacq is a French author and Egyptologist. He has written several novels about ancient Egypt, notably a five book series about pharaoh Ramses II, a character whom Jacq admires greatly.
