Die Tempel Ägyptens. Götterwohnungen, Baudenkmäler, Kultstätten.
Tvrdi povez, u dobrom stanju, 240 strana. Bogato ilustrovana

The book is praised as a comprehensive survey of major temple types from the Old Kingdom to the Roman period, emphasizing the intricate relationship between sacred space, time, and ritual, and challenging traditional distinctions between `mortuary` and `divine` temples.
It highlights the complex connection between the physical layout of temples, the rituals performed within them, and their broader cultural significance.

`Die Tempel Ägyptens` is the original German title for Dieter Arnold`s comprehensive work, `The Encyclopedia of Ancient Egyptian Architecture,` which explores the architecture of Ancient Egypt from pyramids to drainage systems, featuring alphabetical entries on topics, sites, buildings, and technical aspects of construction and materials. The book covers a vast range of architectural subjects and monuments, providing detailed explanations of Egyptian architectural design and construction in the Nile valley.

All 130 temples of ancient Egypt that are still preserved today are described individually in this documentation and are illustrated with illustrations and plans.
