Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Art in Ancient Egypt, Vol. 1 The fact is that Schnaase follows a geographical order, which is very confusing in its results. To give but one example of its absurdity, he speaks of the Phoenicians before he has said a word of Egypt; now, we all know that the art of Tyre and Sidon was but a late reflection from that of Egypt; the work shops of those two famous ports were mere factories of cheap Egyptian art objects for exportation.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Egypt, Chaldea, Syria, Babylonia and Assyria, Vol. 1 Naturally, in progressive studies like those of Egyptology and Assyriology, a good many theories and conclusions must be tentative and provisional only. Discovery crowds so quickly on discovery, that the truth of to-day is Often apt to be modified or amplified by the truth of to-morrow. A single fresh fact may throw a wholly new and unexpected light upon the results we have already gained, and cause them to assume a somewhat changed aspect. But this is what must happen in all sciences in which there is a healthy growth, and archaeological science is no exception to the rule.

This book was released on 2017-12-14 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Popular Account of the Ancient Egyptians, Vol. 1 of 2 I have here and there introduced some remarks relating to the Greeks, thinking that a comparison of the habits and arts of other people, with those of the Egyptians, may be interesting; and the impulse now given to taste in England has induced me to add some observations on decorative art, as well as on colour, form, and proportion, so well understood in ancient times. And as many of the ideas now gaining ground in this country, regarding colour, adaptability of materials, the non-imitation of natural objects for ornamental purposes, and certain rules to be observed in decorative works, have long been advocated by me, and pro perly belong to the subject of Egypt, I think the Opportunity well suited for expressing my opinion upon them while I rejoice that public attention has been invited to take a proper view of the mode of improving taste.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Egypt: From the Earliest Times to the Xvith Dynasty This history, however, does not aim at being a bibliography of the subject; nor has it seemed desir able to bring in theories or views which appear to have passed away, and not to need present attention. While endeavouring to notice everything that a student should bear in mind on each period, yet more Space has been given in proportion to new facts or new theories, pro and con, than to those which will be already familiar to persons who have read works on the subject. Similarly, in the illustrations, it has been sought to give such as are not commonly known, wherever it was suitable to do so. In this way this work is not only complete in itself, but may serve as a supplement, brought down to date, to the other histories that have appeared. It will be found to provide illustrations, later informa tion, and more chronological discussion than exists in the present histories of Brugsch, Wiedemann, or Meyer.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Egypt From the End of the Neolithic Period to the Death of Cleopatra VII, B. C. 30, Vol. 1 of 3 God which is now generally known as: the heresy of the Disk. Among his titles-he adopted that of high priest of bet-harmachis, but although he was tolerant of the worship of all the ancient forms of the Sun-god of Heliopolis he was very hostile to the cult of Amen? Re, the Sun-god of Thebes; he even went so far as to build a shrine in honour of Harmachis within the temple precincts at Thebes. At length an open rupture took place between the priests of Amen and himself, and, as a result, he forsook the old capital and built himself a new one further to the north at a place near the modern Tell el-'amarna. Here he founded a temple in honour of the Disk, and changed his name to khu-en-aten, i.e., Glory of the Disk, and, gathered about him painters, sculptors, and handicraftsmen of every kind, who developed a new style of Egyptian art, which is characterized by great realism and freedom from conventionality. The king, his family, and his courtiers led a life of pleasure here for a few years, and he himself was perfectly content to neglect the affairs of' his empire, provided he could play the part of a priest and bestow gifts upon his favourites. Mean while, the peoples who were subject to him in Asia were hard pressed by' the Kheta and the allied nations, who had by this time become very powerful, and the tribute which had been paid for many years past by the great cities of Syria and Palestine to Egypt was now diverted from that country. The few governors of cities who were strong enough to remain loyal to Egypt sent numerous despatches to Amen-hetep IV. To warn him of the growth of disaffection and revolt throughout.
