Book excerpt: Excerpt from Journal of the Manchester Egyptian and Oriental Society, 1912 There is very little else that I would comment on. The three tortures, for two of which Dr. Gray mentions parallels, might be supplemented by the fact that flaying, the first of them, is grimly prominent on the Inscription of Darius. Dr. Gray's explanation of the burning of Christians is very suggestive, and, I think, evidently true. The fire festival of which he tells us, in which cattle and birds were driven into the flam'e, is a nice little piece of universal folk practice, observed in our own country, I believe, within living memory. It is paralleled largely in Frazer's Golden Bough. I have an impression that there is something to parallel the passage of the queen between the severed halves of the victims. Anyhow, one may compare Genesis xv. 17. On the question of the religion of Darius I am afraid I have come down on the other side of the fence from that which Dr. Gray occupies, even after studying very carefully and making large use of his invaluable article in the Journal of the American Oriental Society and his later work in the encyclopaedia. This, however, is a big question, and I must leave my reasons for the printed page. I will only therefore say how sorry I am to miss not only the actual reading of the paper, but the discussion of it, which, in the case of a paper so interesting, is sure to be full of instructive material. I earnestly hope that Dr. Gray will give us his paper in print. Nothing could be more proper than our own Journal.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Egypt's rich and celebrated ancient past has served many causes throughout history--in both Egypt and the West. Concentrating on the era from Napoleon's conquest and the discovery of the Rosetta Stone to the outbreak of World War I, this book examines the evolution of Egyptian archaeology in the context of Western imperialism and nascent Egyptian nationalism. Traditionally, histories of Egyptian archaeology have celebrated Western discoverers such as Champollion, Mariette, Maspero, and Petrie, while slighting Rifaa al-Tahtawi, Ahmad Kamal, and other Egyptians. This exceptionally well-illustrated and well-researched book writes Egyptians into the history of archaeology and museums in their own country and shows how changing perceptions of the past helped shape ideas of modern national identity. Drawing from rich archival sources in Egypt, the United Kingdom, and France, and from little-known Arabic publications, Reid discusses previously neglected topics in both scholarly Egyptology and the popular "Egyptomania" displayed in world's fairs and Orientalist painting and photography. He also examines the link between archaeology and the rise of the modern tourist industry. This richly detailed narrative discusses not only Western and Egyptian perceptions of pharaonic history and archaeology but also perceptions of Egypt's Greco-Roman, Coptic, and Islamic eras. Throughout this book, Reid demonstrates how the emergence of archaeology affected the interests and self-perceptions of modern Egyptians. In addition to uncovering a wealth of significant new material on the history of archaeology and museums in Egypt, Reid provides a fascinating window on questions of cultural heritage--how it is perceived, constructed, claimed, and contested.
