Description

The discovery of ancient Egypt and the development of Egyptology are momentous events in intellectual and cultural history. The history of Egyptology is the story of the people, famous and difficult to understand, who constructed the picture of ancient Egypt that we have got as of late, recovered the Egyptian past even as inventing it anew, and made a lost civilization comprehensible to generations of enchanted readers and viewers thousands of years later. This, the third of a three-volume history of Egyptology, follows the progress of the discipline from the trauma of the First World War, during the vicissitudes of the twentieth century, and into Egyptology’s new horizons at first of the twenty-first century. Wonderful Things affirms that the history of ancient Egypt has proved continually fascinating, however it also demonstrates that the history of Egyptology is no less so. Only by understanding how Egyptology has developed are we able to actually consider the Egyptian past.
