The excavation report provides insights into Sais, Egypt's capital during the 26th Dynasty, revealing its earlier history through work at Kom Rebwa from 2000 to 2004. Findings include a well-preserved house and an ancient kiln for faience beads and pottery, alongside layers dating back to the Old Kingdom. The report offers detailed analyses of pottery, small artifacts, plant remains, and animal bones, shedding light on everyday rural life in the Delta and the historical significance of the site.

Hieroglyphs were far more than a language. They were an omnipresent and all- powerful force in communicating the messages of ancient Egyptian culture for over three thousand years. This work explores the cultural significance of the script and looks at areas such as cryptography and the decipherment into modern times.
