* El-Daly, Okasha: article on www.MuslimHeritage.com: "Deciphering Egyptian Hieroglyphs in Muslim Heritage"
The article surveys some results of Dr. Okasha El Daly’s exciting discoveries about the precedence of Muslim scholars of the golden age of Islamic culture in deciphering the hieroglyphs of Ancient Egypt. This ground breaking achievement was attributed until recently exclusively to Europeans scholars, and especially to Champollion.
