Download or read book The Treasury of Ancient Egypt Miscellaneous Chapters on Ancient Egyptian History Illustrated written by Arthur E. P. B. Weigall and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-11-08 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arthur Weigall's account of the ancient treasures recovered from the buried tombs of Egypt is breathtaking for its detail and depth of study. This edition contains the original twenty-seven illustrations of the artifacts. The author introduces his book with a justification of the practice of archaeology. Weigall explains how the ongoing excavations of old sites is important and moral to undertake, so long as care is taken and findings are properly documented and cataloged. The fact that history and archaeology are inseparable, and the insights of a great discovery can result in modern society being bestowed by a boon of culture, is discussed. Much of this book discusses the behavior and temperament of the Ancient Egyptians, with the various excavated artifacts serving to back up the author's accounts. Contrary to the stereotypical view of Egyptians; that they were obsessed with death and decay, we find instead that they were a flamboyant and joyous people given to celebration and festivals. Other than in hieroglyphs and murals, there is no trace of these vivacious events. For the uninformed observer of Egypt, the mummies, sarcophagi, and tombs distract from the truth. However those who delve deeper will find a colorful and immensely interesting culture, for whom religion and the idea of eternal comfort in the afterlife was important. The Egyptians were keen to preserve their culture; as such, their tomb murals displayed a wide variety of scenes from life. For Weigall the treasury of Egypt is twofold: discoveries of how they as a people lived, and the physical objects buried for so long beneath the sands. We also hear of the author's upset over the increase in thefts from Thebes and other sites. Many stone reliefs and other finds were extracted by robbers, often with little regard for the delicate ancient construction of the sites. Many of these pieces were sold and found in museums later, much to the vexation of professional and conscientious archaeologists.

Download or read book Archaeologists in Print written by Amara Thornton and published by UCL Press. This book was released on 2018-06-25 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Archaeologists in Print is a history of popular publishing in archaeology in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, a pivotal period of expansion and development in both archaeology and publishing. It examines how British archaeologists produced books and popular periodical articles for a non-scholarly audience, and explores the rise in archaeologists’ public visibility. Notably, it analyses women’s experiences in archaeology alongside better known male contemporaries as shown in their books and archives. In the background of this narrative is the history of Britain’s imperial expansion and contraction, and the evolution of modern tourism in the Eastern Mediterranean and Middle East. Archaeologists exploited these factors to gain public and financial support and interest, and build and maintain a reading public for their work, supported by the seasonal nature of excavation and tourism. Reinforcing these publishing activities through personal appearances in the lecture hall, exhibition space and site tour, and in new media – film, radio and television – archaeologists shaped public understanding of archaeology. It was spadework, scripted. The image of the archaeologist as adventurous explorer of foreign lands, part spy, part foreigner, eternally alluring, solidified during this period. That legacy continues, undimmed, today. Praise for Archaeologists in Print This beautifully written book will be valued by all kinds of readers: you don't need to be an archaeologist to enjoy the contents, which take you through different publishing histories of archaeological texts and the authors who wrote them. From the productive partnership of travel guide with archaeological interest, to the women who feature so often in the history of archaeological publishing, via closer analysis of the impact of John Murray, Macmillan and Co, and Penguin, this volume excavates layers of fascinating facts that reveal much of the wider culture of the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The prose is clear and the stories compulsive: Thornton brings to life a cast of people whose passion for their profession lives again in these pages. Warning: the final chapter, on Archaeological Fictions, will fill your to-be-read list with stacks of new titles to investigate! This is a highly readable, accessible exploration into the dynamic relationships between academic authors, publishers, and readers. It is, in addition, an exemplar of how academic research can attract a wide general readership, as well as a more specialised one: a stellar combination of rigorous scholarship with lucid, pacy prose. Highly recommended!' Samantha Rayner, Director of UCL Centre for Publishing; Deputy Head of Department and Director of Studies, Department of Information Studies, UCL

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The archæologist whose business it is to bring to light by pick and spade the relics of bygone ages, is often accused of devoting his energies to work which is of no material profit to mankind at the present day. Archæology is an unapplied science, and, apart from its connection with what is called culture, the critic is inclined to judge it as a pleasant and worthless amusement. There is nothing, the critic tells us, of pertinent value to be learned from the Past which will be of use to the ordinary person of the present time; and, though the archæologist can offer acceptable information to the painter, to the theologian, to the philologist, and indeed to most of the followers of the arts and sciences, he has nothing to give to the ordinary layman.
