The scribes of Brazil
To some Brazilians, the hieroglyphs used in Ancient Egypt are no mystery. They are few, less than ten in the country, but they understand the language of the pharaohs. And they use their knowledge to read original documents. They are men like Ciro Flamarion Santana Cardoso and Moacir Elias Santos who are working on keeping alive and spreading the knowledge about the Egyptian language that there is in Brazil.
