This is true, it begins with the hieroglyphic writing system, and completely lacks any real detail about verbs. Judging by the Interlinear text, Egyptian was probably as close to Isolation as English is now. Pronouns and Nouns are given a decent overview, and tho nothing is said on the order of words, it seems to be SOV, IIRC.
