Wilson and Blackett's seminal work on how to correctly read ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics and the messages that they contain.  The book explains how the mainstream deciphering used the wrong language as a basis and has ended up in a confused mess.  Using the correct language as a basis reading hieroglyphics is surprisingly easy.

The book then gives detailed translations of crucial passages of hieroglyphics that reveal whole episodes of history that have previously missed or completely misunderstood.

The tombs of Alexander-the-Great and the members of his dynasty are revealed as are the Egyptian accounts of famous characters and stories from the Bible - such as Joseph, Moses, The Queen of Sheeba and the Exodus.

The book also explains how the misunderstanding of hieroglyphics led to the misdating of Egyptian history and the creation of "phantom" rulers and dynasties.

Putting the history into the correct order and time frame casts a whole new light on the ancient history of the entire Mediterranean area.
