Originating in Ancient Egypt, hieroglyphs are one of the oldest scripts in the world. Texts in hieroglyphs are sacred: they adorn the walls of tombs and temples, unfold on papyri and give the names of kings. But how do we read hieroglyphs? The visitor discovers it in the tomb-library of the great scholar Padiaménopé, who transmits his knowledge to us beyond the millennia.
