Sooner or later, every Egyptologist writes a “coffee table” book directed at the interested lay audience; this one is by Douglas Brewer of the University of Illinois and Emily Teeter of the University of Chicago. These are pretty standard; the geography and geology of Egypt; a quick summary of the history; society and everyday life; religion; art; architecture; the Pyramids and the Valley of the Kings. Still, every one I’ve read has some interesting insights. For example, Brewer and Teeter claim that two women held the office of vizier during Egyptian history; I’d never read that anywhere else. And they also comment that Egyptian women could serve on juries, something else I didn’t realize – I didn’t even know that there were “juries” in ancient Egypt, I’d thought all court cases were heard only by a single judge. I’ll have to do some more research. At any rate, this is as good as any of the other general books on Egypt. ( ) Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
The richness of more than 3000 years of Egyptian civilization comes alive in the pages of this book. From the geology of the land, the first cities, social structure, religion, mummification and burial practices, languages, temple and house architecture and art, Egypt and the Egyptians is a comprehensive treatment of ancient Egypt. The illustrations, many appearing here for the first time, and extensive quotes from ancient letters, hymns, funerary texts and law codes, enliven the text. The result is a rare combination of up-to-date Egyptological and anthropological research, giving the reader the most current and expansive examination of Egypt. It is written for students, and for the general reader interested in this ancient land and its people. The extensive bibliography, suggestions for further reading, and glossary, make this book an excellent resource for exploring any aspect of ancient Egypt. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
