Alan Gardiner

Two major contributions to ancient Egyptian philology by Gardiner are his famous three editions of ''Egyptian Grammar'' and its correlated list of all the Middle Egyptian Hieroglyphs in '' Gardiner's Sign List ''. Publishing ''Egyptian Grammar'' produced one of the few available hieroglyphic printing fonts.

In 1916 Gardiner was also able to crack the so-called Proto-Sinaitic writing system by deciphering the "B'alat inscriptions".
