Rhio Barnhart

Rhio Barnhart has a BA degree from the University of Cincinnati in harpsichord performance and attended graduate school at UCLA in the same field. He worked for over 31 years at several University of California locations and retired in 2010 from the University of California at Davis where he was the Music Department librarian. Retirement allowed him to pursue Egyptian language studies, after a lifetime of thinking about it. Prior to the revolution in Egypt, he volunteered to write object descriptions for the Cairo Egyptian museum database project. He has also designed two web pages, one for the study of hieroglyphic biliteral signs and another for an extended sign list based on the Aegyptus font.
