Abstract
[Abstract] Progress made in recent years has led to a growing interest in Digital Heritage. This article focuses on Egyptology and, more specifically, the study and preservation of ancient Egyptian scripts. We present a Text Retrieval system developed specifically to work with hieroglyphic texts. We intend to make it freely available to the research community. To the best of our knowledge this is the first tool of its kind.

We would also like to thank Dr. Serge Rosmorduc, Associate of the Conservatoire National des Arts et Metiers (CNAM) for all his support when working with JSESH
