About the author

Librarian Note: There are more than one author in the Goodreads database with this name.

John R. Sharp worked as a linguist and analyst for the U.S. Government for over 40 years, teaching and writing curricula for Modern Standard Arabic and several Arabic dialects. During his studies in Cairo, he became fascinated with Egyptology and the ancient Egyptian language, but was frustrated at not finding a good, searchable index of pharaohs' cartouches (name rings), so he decided to make one himself, a project that took several decades. He lives in Hawaii.

[Tressa · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book is a good reference. However everytime I found myself needing to use it...the answers I was searching for was never in the book. I have found other books and internet sites more useful.
