Absolutely! I worked my way through an earlier edition of this book. One way in which the world has improved over the last thirty years is the much larger trove of material available for learning this kind of thing. Now anyone can play Indiana Jones. One thing which makes it easier is the repetitiveness of many hieroglyphic inscriptions--think how many of the same phrases we ourselves use over and over again on our own tombstones.

The pyramids of Egypt have always been a fascination for me and have also heard that spending a night inside any of those pyramids is a sure shot way to experience the paranormal or the supernatural.. Have added it to my bucket list... Have decided to visit and spend a night there at some point in my life... Better still, hope someday my company sends me onsite to Egypt ;-) Mr. "NEWS, VIEWS & SERENDIPITY" can make that happen :->
