Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hierakonpolis, Vol. 2 The realisation of these objects was only partly fulfilled Hardly any fragments of objects found in the previous season's work were recovered, nor was the plan of the temple made out as completely as was hoped. The want of success in this direction was due in a great measure to the nature of the site; for, situ ated as it is within the area of inundation, it has been submitted to the action of water during several months in the year from a very distant period. At the beginning of the work in December the water was still level with the foot of the enclosure walls, and even at the end of June it was met with less than two metres below them. Most of the pits and trenches dug in the preceding season had, in consequence of the water in them, collapsed, bringing down the walls which they exposed this proved a great obstacle in recovering the plan.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “Magisterial . . . [A] rich portrait of ancient Egypt’s complex evolution over the course of three millenniums.”—Los Angeles Times NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The Washington Post • Publishers Weekly In this landmark volume, one of the world’s most renowned Egyptologists tells the epic story of this great civilization, from its birth as the first nation-state to its absorption into the Roman Empire. Drawing upon forty years of archaeological research, award-winning scholar Toby Wilkinson takes us inside a tribal society with a pre-monetary economy and decadent, divine kings who ruled with all-too-recognizable human emotions. Here are the legendary leaders: Akhenaten, the “heretic king,” who with his wife Nefertiti brought about a revolution with a bold new religion; Tutankhamun, whose dazzling tomb would remain hidden for three millennia; and eleven pharaohs called Ramesses, the last of whom presided over the militarism, lawlessness, and corruption that caused a political and societal decline. Filled with new information and unique interpretations, The Rise and Fall of Ancient Egypt is a riveting and revelatory work of wild drama, bold spectacle, unforgettable characters, and sweeping history. “With a literary flair and a sense for a story well told, Mr. Wilkinson offers a highly readable, factually up-to-date account.”—The Wall Street Journal “[Wilkinson] writes with considerable verve. . . . [He] is nimble at conveying the sumptuous pageantry and cultural sophistication of pharaonic Egypt.”—The New York Times
Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Egyptology written by Ian Shaw and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-11-10 with total page 1300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford Handbook of Egyptology offers a comprehensive survey of the entire study of ancient Egypt from prehistory through to the end of the Roman period. It seeks to place Egyptology within its theoretical, methodological, and historical contexts, indicating how the subject has evolved and discussing its distinctive contemporary problems, issues, and potential. Transcending conventional boundaries between archaeological and ancient textual analysis, the volume brings together 63 chapters that range widely across archaeological, philological, and cultural sub-disciplines, highlighting the extent to which Egyptology as a subject has diversified and stressing the need for it to seek multidisciplinary methods and broader collaborations if it is to remain contemporary and relevant. Organized into ten parts, it offers a comprehensive synthesis of the various sub-topics and specializations that make up the field as a whole, from the historical and geographical perspectives that have influenced its development and current characteristics, to aspects of museology and conservation, and from materials and technology - as evidenced in domestic architecture and religious and funerary items - to textual and iconographic approaches to Egyptian culture. Authoritative yet accessible, it serves not only as an invaluable reference work for scholars and students working within the discipline, but also as a gateway into Egyptology for classicists, archaeologists, anthropologists, sociologists, and linguists.

Download or read book Predynastic Egypt written by Barbara Adams and published by Bloomsbury Shire Publications. This book was released on 1988 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Predynastic cultures of Upper Egypt, which pre-dated the unification of the country under one king and the beginning of dynastic history in approximately 3000 BC, were first discovered independently by Flinders Petrie and de Morgan in the 1890s. At first Petrie thought they were over a thousand years later, but on accepting the Frenchman's correct, prehistoric dating he went on to analyse and serialise the distinctive objects from the graves he uncovered, thereby laying the foundations for the study of Predynastic Egypt. This study has developed and diversified; it provides insights into the long civilisation that followed and draws upon the resources of a myriad of specialists; social and physical anthropologists, geologists, zoologists, botanists, chemists, architects, conservators and Egyptologists. As fieldwork in Egypt continues and the subject expands the literature has become specialised and scattered; there is little to satisfy the increasing general interest into the inception of Egyptian culture. This book gives a factual introduction to the sources and types of the material remains of Predynastic Egypt and the way they are used to provide information on the development of society in the absence of a written language. --COVER.
