Hieroglyphe

Que penser des traductions, sont-elles a la hauteur des exigeances que portaient les scribes de Pharaon.

Avons-nous reellement decripte leurs ecritures sacrees ?

Avons-nous compris leur societe ?

Sommes-nous entres dans les secrets que cette civilisation recele ?

Tout laisse a penser que beaucoup reste a faire, que nous devons aller chercher au dela des apparences.
