Download or read book The Religion of Ancient Egypt written by William Matthew Flinders Petrie and published by Binker North. This book was released on 1906 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Religion of Ancient Egypt is a classic religious studies text by the great pioneering English egyptologist, W. M. Flinders Petrie. Before dealing with the special varieties of the Egyptians' belief in gods, it is best to try to avoid a misunderstanding of their whole conception of the supernatural. The term god has come to tacitly imply to our minds such a highly specialised group of attributes, that we can hardly throw our ideas back into the more remote conceptions to which we also attach the same name.

Ancient Egypt are inserted, that the reader may have before his eyes a demonstration of the high and comprehensive civilization to which the Ancient Egyptians had attained. The pictures are rare, and in some instances offer a view of what the ruins must have been, in the days of completeness and splendor.

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

Download or read book Egypt of the Past Classic Reprint written by Erasmus Wilson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-06-16 with total page 546 pages. 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.
