Myth and Symbol in Ancient Egypt
R. T. Rundle Clark
ISBN 0500271127
© 1991 Thames & Hudson
Order
Categories :  Myths & Legends  
From the book cover : This classic study remains the best single introduction to the Egyptian mythological world. The Egyptians lived apart from the rest of the ancient world, and it is this isolation that makes their ideas so difficult to appreciate and interpret. Egyptian thought was presented in terms of mythology: myth was used to convey insights into the workings of nature and the ultimately indescribable realities of the soul
[The author] gives us an excellent and valuable introduction to the Egyptian mythological world, based upon the most reliable interpretation of their principle myths. In telling the myths, he allows the texts to speak for themselves as far as possible and gives considerable attention to the philosophical ideas that the myths were trying to express - ideas that foreshadowed the philosophy of the Greeks and even touched on the perennial themes of Christian theology.

A Study of Calendars and Calendar Reforms in Ancient Egypt
Lynn E. Rose
ISBN 0917994159

Order
Categories :  Astronomy & Mathematics  
Reviewed by Francesca: The history of calendars always brings out serious controversy, but nowhere like in this book. The author proposes the possible shifting of the Middle Kingdom by an entire Sothic period, thus changing ancient historiography of the Middle East. A recommended book for open-minded persons, interested in Egyptology and calendar studies.

book coverLes chevaux du Nouvel Empire égyptien
Origines, races, harnachement
Catherine Rommelaere
ISBN 2872680020
© 1991 Éditions Safran
Categories :  Animals  
From the publisher's website: Les milliers de chevaux figurés sur les murs des temples et des tombes conservent les plus anciennes images du cheval à l'époque historique. La fidélité des dessinateurs égyptiens, de 1600 à 1300 avant J.C., a permis à l'égyptologue Catherine Rommelaere, elle-même excellente écuyère, d'étudier l'origine, les races et le harnachement de ces beaux animaux, dans leur état ancien, avant les transformations dues à l'élevage moderne.

Categories :  Monuments, Temples & Tombs  
From the book cover: [This] was John Romer's first book and contains two fascinating stories. The first is about the tombs of the ancient Egyptian kings, queens and nobles from three dynasties who were buried with utmost pomp and extravagance between 1570 and 1085 BC. The second, equally exciting and full of incident, is the story of archeologists and their hunt for the past.
