Description

Roman emperors, Arab scholars, and early travellers were already drawn to and enchanted by the fascination of the land along the Nile. The pyramids of Giza, the temple-city of Karnak, or the Valley of the Kings with the grave of Tutankhamen even nowadays care for their peculiar force of attraction. Around the centuries the high culture of the ancient Egyptians has retained its allure. This can for sure be attributed to their astounding architectural,artistic, and technological achievements in addition to their high level of writing and literature. The unified world view of old Egypt, by which science and religion are an indissoluble unity, impresses us deeply, as well. This book explores the entire magic and mysteries of ancient Egypt that continue to fascinate us, in over 500 pages of full-colour photographs and comprehensive text. It covers the whole lot from architecture, sculpture and painting to on a regular basis life, statecraft, society and religion.
