Does anyone here know how to read the egyptian hieroglyphs? I would love to be able, i'm actually going to research it. If anyone could help me with good sites or books that would be great.

Well, there is this book at ebay you can buy (if you're THAT intrested).
Here's the link:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Read-Egyyptian-Hieroglyphs-Step-step/dp/0714119105
Sorry i had to type it out, so if it doesn't work just search for the title name in amazon.
In my opinion you should get this book if it's more than just a hobby.
Otherwise, just check out this site. It has some awesome easy-to-understand dictionaries. (English to Hie and viseversa.)

Anyway, what are you intrested in egypts and mummies for? Are you intrested in archeology? Or in pyramids or something like that?
If it's a hobby, isn't it inconvinient to follow it up? I mean, you don't find egyptian symbols all over the sidewalk...or an i wrong?

I can read only the names of the gods and a few phrases. The best way to learn is by asking the right people, or look online. There are thousands of sites telling you the basics of Egyptian hieroglyphics. You can always take a class to learn more about their beautiful ancient culture and language.
