4.0 out of 5 stars
Great Resource, Packed with Info!,
This review is from: The Ancient Egyptians (Hardcover)
This book is PACKED with information about ancient Egypt, arranged by topic. The author is clearly sympathetic to the ancient Egyptians (ah, for the days you didn't have to hate Egypt to be an Egyptologist!) Written in 1836 the book may be dated in some ways but not as much as you might think. It is definitely at its strongest describing the physical and social aspects of the culture; some of his more metaphysical interpretations may actually be superceded by later scholarship. Even so there are TONS of useful material here! Generously illustated with B&W pictures. This should be especially useful for writers or artists looking for source material on ancient Egyptian culture.
