Abstract

[Abstract] Digital Heritage deals with the use of computing and information technologies for the preservation and study of the human cultural legacy. Within this context, we present here a Text Retrieval system developed specifically to work with Egyptian hieroglyphic texts for its use by Egyptologists and Linguists in the study and preservation of Ancient Egyptian scripts. We intend to make it freely available to the Egyptology research community. To the best of our knowledge this is the first tool of its kind.
