Omschrijving
A fresh look at the British Museum's celebrated and extensive ancient Egyptian collection from across three thousand years
“The book includes 180 marvelous color photographs of objects such as sculptures, funerary objects, jewelry and papyri. Essays accompanying the plates explore Egyptian kingship and images illustrating the pharaoh’s connection with various gods. . . . The plates throughout the book are striking and the accompanying discussion of Egyptian customs is excellent and very interesting.”—Richard Weigel, Bowling Green Daily News
"The variety of the artefacts and the quality of the illustrations, combined with the book’s thoughtful text, make this well worth a place in anyone’s Egyptological library.”—Hilary Forrest, Ancient Egypt
Marie Vandenbeusch is project curator in the Department of Ancient Egypt and Sudan, British Museum, London. Aude Semat is a lecturer in Egyptology at the École du Louvre, Paris. Margaret Maitland is curator of the Ancient Mediterranean collections at the National Museums Scotland, Edinburgh.
