"Illustrations of Hieroglyphics and the arm of a mummy from Hypogees" is a work by Edme-François Jomard, a French cartographer, engineer, and Egyptologist, who was part of Napoleon Bonaparte's scientific expedition to Egypt (1798–1801). This work is part of a larger publication, the "Description de l'Égypte," which was commissioned by Napoleon to document the findings of the expedition. The "Description de l'Égypte" is a seminal work in Egyptology, as it provided the first comprehensive, systematic study of ancient Egyptian architecture, monuments, and social life.

Jomard's contribution, focusing on hieroglyphics and a mummy's arm, reflects the early European fascination with Egyptian burial practices and the decipherment of hieroglyphs. The illustrations would have been based on the detailed observations and drawings made by scholars and artists who accompanied the French military campaign. These images provided an unprecedented visual record of Egyptian antiquities and were instrumental in the development of Egyptology as a scholarly discipline.

The work is significant not only for its content but also for its role in the intellectual and cultural phenomenon known as Egyptomania, which swept through Europe in the 19th century. The illustrations would have contributed to the spread of knowledge about ancient Egypt and inspired further research and exploration. Jomard's meticulous documentation of hieroglyphics also predated the breakthrough work of Jean-François Champollion, who would later successfully decipher the Rosetta Stone.

"Illustrations of Hieroglyphics and the arm of a mummy from Hypogees" remains an important historical document, reflecting the state of Egyptological knowledge and European scholarly methods at the turn of the 19th century. It is a testament to the collaborative efforts of the scientists, artists, and engineers who participated in the French expedition and laid the groundwork for modern archaeological and Egyptological practices.
