Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Thoth, the Hermes of Egypt: A Study of Some Aspects of Theological Thought in Ancient Egypt The title of the essay has been chosen partly to suggest from the beginning an important and intelligible aspect of Thoth to the general reader, and partly to remind the student that a god who, at first sight, might seem to be a divinity of purely Egyptian importance, was, nevertheless, associated with such a widely flowing current of ancient thought as the speculation of the Hermetic writings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Sons of the Pharaohs: A Study of the Manners and Customs of the Copts of Egypt The author has thought it would best serve the Coptic people and the responsible Government of Egypt to leave his work exactly as the beginning of the war found it. After the long truce, which will end With the war, it may be useful to be able to turn to a clear and unbiased record of the things these ancient dwellers in the land of Pharaoh have regarded as necessary for reform, and to have the original statement of their reasons and arguments for a different treatment, side by side with the official answer to their claims. It is not unlikely that in the light of the revelation which may come from the tremendous experiences of the world war the mistakes of both sides may stand out plain and clear - the suppliant may see that he has asked too much, and the governing power that it has been willing to accede too little.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Exhibition of the Art of Ancient Egypt, 1895 Happily, year by year they are being slowly but surely amassed. None of the present generation can expect to trace the stream from its source to its termination. The task of exploration, however, affords keener enjoyment than the passage when the course is clear, and certainly the discoveries of late years have been such as must stir the coldest imagination. Up to the middle Of the present century it was generally believed that Egyptian art, through its long duration of many centuries, remained stationary, that the artists continued repeating the same forms. This notion was derived from the writings of the Greeks and Romans, probably echoing what they had heard from the priests and learned men of Egypt of their own day.

Download or read book Priests of Ancient Egypt written by Serge Sauneron and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-02 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Priests of Ancient Egypt, Vol. 12 There are two outstanding features of ancient Egypt, both of which are strikingly evident on the banks of the Nile. First, its art, as the Cairo Museum reveals, is as old as history and as beautiful and perfect in its way as all that Greece and more recent civilizations have been able to produce in their greatest periods. Second, one sees that Egypt's monuments are nearly all products of religious preoccupations. From the plateau of Gizeh to the boulders of the cataract, in the shade of the Memphis palms and in the scorching inferno of the Valleys of Kings, in the calm of the Elephantine and in the white feluccas, there is the same striking evidence at each monument, on each visit to the pyramids, temples, tombs, that everything constructed for eternity - everything which has successfully by-passed the centuries - was conceived for the worship of the gods and for the immortality of man. In no country, perhaps, has the desire for eternity been more eloquent, never more effectively realized. Houses, towns, palaces, all the architecture destined for daily life was essentially provisory: crude brick was sufficient.

Download or read book Gods Priests Men written by Aylward M. Lloyd and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-11-12 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First Published in 1998. This volume brings together for the first time in a single volume the highly significant works on ancient Egyptian religion by Aylward Manley Blackman (1883-1956). Blackman's knowledge of Egyptian religion was unrivalled. He was best known for his series of studies on Egyptian religion which have long been regarded as essential reading in the subject, and which forms the content of the present collection. Unusually, Blackman did not publish his writings in book form, but preferred to place them in a wide range of publications that are extremely difficult to obtain. Blackman's studies on Egyptian religious belief and particularly religious practice focus on areas of fundamental concern and are models of meticulous, sympathetic and penetrating scholarship. They should remain required reading for all students of Egyptian religion well into the next century. All those with an interest in the subject should welcome this volume which makes Blackman's writings accessible in a convenient form. A select bibliography provides an update and key to more recent work on topics discussed by Blackman.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Kings and Gods of Egypt Although as yet the results of the scholars' labours in Eastern fields have not become part of the general knowledge of the educated classes, or even of the schools and of the historians, there is in the public mind a growing interest in the discoveries made in Eastern history and art, and also an increasing demand for first-hand informa tion presented, in non-technical language, by the specialists themselves.

Download or read book A History of Ancient Egypt written by John Romer and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2013-08-20 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ancient world comes to life in the first volume in a two book series on the history of Egypt, spanning the first farmers to the construction of the pyramids. Famed archaeologist John Romer draws on a lifetime of research to tell one history's greatest stories; how, over more than a thousand years, a society of farmers created a rich, vivid world where one of the most astounding of all human-made landmarks, the Great Pyramid, was built. Immersing the reader in the Egypt of the past, Romer examines and challenges the long-held theories about what archaeological finds mean and what stories they tell about how the Egyptians lived. More than just an account of one of the most fascinating periods of history, this engrossing book asks readers to take a step back and question what they've learned about Egypt in the past. Fans of Stacy Schiff's Cleopatra and history buffs will be captivated by this re-telling of Egyptian history, written by one of the top Egyptologists in the world.

Download or read book The Search for God in Ancient Egypt written by Jan Assmann and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First English-language edition, with revisions and additions by the author.This classic work by one of the world's most distinguished Egyptologists was first published in German in 1984. The Search for God in Ancient Egypt offers a distillation of Jan Assmann's views on ancient Egyptian religion, with special emphasis on theology and piety. Deeply rooted in the texts of ancient Egypt and thoroughly informed by comparative religion, theology, anthropology, and semiotic analysis, Assmann's interpretations reveal the complexity of Egyptian thought in a new way.Assmann takes special care to distinguish between the "implicit" theology of Egyptian polytheism and the "explicit" theology that is concerned with exploring the problem of the divine. His discussion of polytheism and mythology addresses aspects of ritual, the universe, and myth; his consideration of explicit theology deals with theodicy and the specifics of Amarna religion.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Manetho: With an English Translation An Egyptian high priest, learned in Greek litera ture, had an unrivalled Opportunity, in early Ptolemaic times, of writing an excellent and accurate history of Egypt. He had open access to records of all kinds - papyri 2 in the temple archives (annals, sacred books containing liturgies and poems), hiero glyphic tablets, wall sculptures, and innumerable inscriptions.3 These records no one but an Egyptian priest could consult and read; and only a scholar who had assimilated the works of Greek historians could make a judicious and scientific use of the abundant material.
