The pamphlet has a good bit of useful information, given its size, but concentrates mostly on showing how to print your own name phonetically with Egyptian symbols.
I used it often in Cub Scouts and other children's venues, and it was always a hit.
Although this was designed for children, it is an entertaining way to get to know the alphabetic qualities of the hieroglyphs used in the Ancient Egyptian language. It was produced by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, so is very accurate.
Toont hoe het uitzonderlijke groeit uit het gewone. En dan toch weer moet verdwijnen omdat het zo uitzonderlijk is.
Mooi overzicht, zowel in woord als in beeld, van wat bekend is over deze bijzondere vrouw. Zowat alle aspecten worden belicht, maar wel beknopt. Gepresenteerd als een stand van zaken, niet als een debat.
