Synopsis

The Egyptologist, in the role of a scribe, reveals the secrets of hieroglyphic writing to his students. Each apprentice will be invited to practice increasingly complex writing tests. To experience how the Egyptians used different materials, each participant writes in hieroglyph first on an ostrakon made of plaster and then on papyrus.
