Download or read book A History of the Ancient Egyptians Classic Reprint written by James Henry Breasted and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-22 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Ancient Egyptians As works on the early Orient multiply, it becomes more and more easy to produce such books at second and third hand, which are thus separated by a long remove from the original monuments forming our primary sources of knowledge. As the use of this vol ume is in a measure conditioned by the method which produced it, may the author state that it is based di rectly and immediately upon the monuments, and in most cases upon the original monuments, rather than upon any published edition of the same? For this pur pose the historical monuments still standing in Egypt, or installed in the museums of Europe (the latter in to to), were copied or collated by the author anew ad hoc and rendered into English (see infra, p. 445, B. Trans lations, bar). Upon this complete version the present volume rests. Those students who desire to consult the sources upon which any given fact is based, are re ferred to this English corpus. A full bibliography of each original monument, if desired, will also be found there, and hence no references to such technical bibliog raphy will be found herein, thus freeing the reader from a mass of workshop debris, to which, however, he can easily refer, if he desires it.

Download or read book Writings from Ancient Egypt written by Toby Wilkinson and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2016-08-25 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Man perishes; his corpse turns to dust; all his relatives pass away. But writings make him remembered' In ancient Egypt, words had magical power. Inscribed on tombs and temple walls, coffins and statues, or inked onto papyri, hieroglyphs give us a unique insight into the life of the Egyptian mind. Egyptologist Toby Wilkinson has freshly translated a rich and diverse range of ancient Egyptian writings into modern English, including tales of shipwreck and wonder, obelisk inscriptions, mortuary spells, funeral hymns, songs, satires and advice on life from a pharaoh to his son. Spanning over two millennia, this is the essential guide to a complex, sophisticated culture. Translated with an Introduction by Toby Wilkinson

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Three Days in Memphis: Or Sketches of the Public and Private Life of the Old Egyptians Almost every one who in former as well as at later periods has visited this land of wonders, has felt it necessary to pub lish his observations and experience in travels. Why should not the same privilege be allowed to him whose dreams of a brief period have carried him back thousands of years, while they exhibit to him in his earnest research of the old monu ments a picture of the Ancient Capital of the land of the Pharaohs long since buried beneath its ruins. Large books have indeed been written during the last few years respecting one and another branch of Egyptian public and private life; but they are intelligible and accessible to but few, on account of their learned character as well as their great extent and cost.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Egypt of the Past Dynasties. These are, indeed, such very ancient memories (some of them antecedent to the Great Pyramids) that we need not concern ourselves very particularly with figures and dates about which Egyptologists themselves are not entirely agreed. The great river of Egypt, the Nile, which first brought down the soil of Central Africa, and in course of time filled up that arm of the sea which as dry land we now call Egypt, and which by continuous accumulation drove the sea back into the Mediterranean Basin, while it has ever been the creative and fertilizing power of Egypt, has like wise been the insatiable devourer of its history. The cities of the Delta, their monuments and their records, have, for the most part, been swallowed up and destroyed. How much knowledge may have been lost to modern times Q by the annual inundation of the Nile it is now too late to calculate. Those temples founded on the rock and on the higher grounds have alone survived; and above all, the tombs excavated and built in the limestone range beyond the reach of the inundation and on those broad mountain ledges which would seem to have been the complement, if not, indeed, the cause of the pyramids.
