John and Colleen Darnell read and discuss portions of the Book of Adoring Re in the West, commonly called the Litany of Re. To learn more about the Netherworld Books, you can read our translation volume: The Ancient Egyptian Netherworld Books (Atlanta: SBL Press, 2018). If you want to start learning hieroglyphs, we have an Instagram account: [ Ссылка ], and we recommend Mark Collier and Bill Manley, How to Read Egyptian Hieroglyphs (Berkeley, 1998) as a beginner's guide.
