Roman emperors, Arab scholars and early travelers all succumbed to the fascination of the land of the Nile, and to this day the Pyramids of Giza, the temple precinct of Karnak, and the Valley of the Kings with the tomb of Tutankhamun retain their unique attraction. The civilization of ancient Egypt continues to cast its spell across the millenia. This is undoubtedly due to the astonishing architectural, artistic, and technological achievements of that culture, as well as its advanced system of writing and the quality of its literature. Equally impressive is the all-embracing philosophy of ancient Egypt, in which science and religion formed an indissoluble whole.
An international team of scholars has come together for this book in order to present the extraordinarily rich legacy of ancient Egypt in all of its many aspects. The chronological span is from prehistoric times to the Greco-Roman period. Besides the great achievements in architecture, sculpture, and painting, the authors cover many individual topics relating to the state, society, and religion.
More than 800 photographs, maps, and diagrams give visual immediacy to the highly informative text, bringing that vanished world in all its complexity vividly to life.
