        Egypt of the Saite pharaohs, 664–525 BC

        by Roger Forshaw

        The Egypt of the 660s BC was a politically fragmented and conquered country. However, its situation was about to change. This is an account of how a family of local rulers from the town of Sais declared independence from the Assyrian Empire and brought about reunification. They established central government, reformed the economy and promoted trade. Egypt soon became prosperous, achieving a pre-eminent role in the Mediterranean world. The book reveals the dynamic nature of the period, the astuteness of the Saite rulers and their considerable achievements in the political, economic, administrative and cultural spheres. It will appeal not only to students of Egyptology but also, because of the interactions of the Saite Dynasty with the Aegean and Mesopotamia worlds, to anyone interested in ancient history.

        Mummies, magic and medicine in ancient Egypt

        Multidisciplinary essays for Rosalie David

        by Campbell Price, Roger Forshaw, Andrew Chamberlain, Paul Nicholson, Robert Morkot, Joyce Tyldesley

        This volume, published in honour of Egyptologist Professor Rosalie David OBE, presents the latest research on three of the most important aspects of ancient Egyptian civilisation: mummies, magic and medical practice. Drawing on recent archaeological fieldwork, new research on human remains, reassessments of ancient texts and modern experimental archaeology, it attempts to answer some of Egyptology's biggest questions: how did Tutankhamun die? How were the Pyramids built? How were mummies made? Leading experts in their fields combine traditional Egyptology and innovative scientific approaches to ancient material. The result is a cutting-edge overview of the discipline, showing how it has developed over the last forty years and yet how many of its big questions remain the same.

        Egypt of the Saite pharaohs, 664–525 BC

        by Roger Forshaw

        In the 660s BC Egypt was a politically fragmented and occupied country. However, this was to change when a family of local rulers from the city of Sais declared independence from the Assyrian Empire, and in a few short years succeeded in bringing about the reunification of Egypt. The Saites established central government, reformed the economy and promoted trade. The country became prosperous, achieving a pre-eminent role in the Mediterranean world. This is the first monograph devoted entirely to a detailed exploration of the Saite Dynasty. It reveals the dynamic nature of the period, the astuteness of the Saite rulers and their considerable achievements in the political, economic, administrative and cultural spheres. It will appeal not only to students of Egyptology but also, because of the interactions of the Saite Dynasty with the Aegean and Mesopotamia worlds, to anyone interested in ancient history.

        Victorian literary culture and ancient Egypt

        by Eleanor Dobson

        This edited collection considers representations of ancient Egypt in the literature of the nineteenth-century. It addresses themes such as reanimated mummies, ancient Egyptian mythology and contemporary consumer culture across literary modes ranging from burlesque satire to historical novels, stage performances to Gothic fiction and popular culture to the highbrow. The book illuminates unknown sources of historical significance - including the first illustration of an ambulatory mummy - revising current understandings of the works of canonical writers and grounding its analysis firmly in a contemporary context. The contributors demonstrate the extensive range of cultural interest in ancient Egypt that flourished during Victoria's reign. At the same time, they use ancient Egypt to interrogate 'selfhood' and 'otherness', notions of race, imperialism, religion, gender and sexuality.

        Tea on the terrace

        Hotels and Egyptologists’ social networks, 1885–1925

        by Kathleen Sheppard

        Histories of Egyptology often focus on the excavation site, site report, or the museum when talking about important places in the development of the discipline. Tea on the terrace focuses instead on the hotels Egyptologists stayed in before going out to excavate, and after they returned, as major sites of discipline-building activities. Here they met friends and colleagues, drank tea, ate meals and talked with one another. Throughout their time together, they built the discipline of Egyptology in an exclusive space - European-run Egyptian hotels.

        Tea on the terrace

        Hotels and Egyptologists’ social networks, 1885–1925

        by Kathleen Sheppard

        Tea on the terrace takes the reader on a fascinating journey down the Nile with legendary Egyptologists. Spending time with these remarkable men and women at their hotels and on their boats, the book reveals that a great deal of important archaeological work took place away from field sites and museums. Arriving in Alexandria, travellers moved on to Cairo before heading south for Luxor, the site of the Ancient Egyptian city of Thebes. The book follows a cast that includes Theodore Davis, Emma Andrews, James Breasted, Wallis Budge, Maggie Benson and Howard Carter, listening in on their conversations and observing their activities. It reveals that hotels in particular became crucial spaces for launching careers, building and strengthening scientific networks and generating new ideas. Combining archaeological tourism with the history of Egyptology, and drawing on a vast array of archival materials, Tea on the terrace takes the reader behind the scenes of familiar stories, showing Egyptologists' activities in a whole new light.

        Escrituras, lengua y cultura en el antiguo Egipto

        by Josep Cervelló Autuori

        Parte importantísima de la fascinación que los antiguos egipcios ejercen sobre nuestra cultura se debe al poderoso atractivo de su lengua y sus sistemas de escritura, inseparables de la aventura humana de su desciframiento, que permitió entender lo que unos signos tenazmente trazados en muros, papiros y objetos revelaban acerca de una de las primeras grandes civilizaciones de la historia. Este libro es una aproximación a la lengua y las escrituras egipcias desde una perspectiva cultural: la evolución de la lengua, su descripción gramatical y fonológica, los principales testimonios literarios y documentales, las características de los distintos sistemas de escritura y, en especial, de los jeroglíficos, la historia del proceso que llevó a su desciframiento, sin olvidar cuestiones fundamentales sobre su origen. La mirada se expande más allá del valle del Nilo, al considerar también la influencia de las escrituras egipcias en otras culturas, influencia cuyo resultado más visible son nuestras propias letras alfabéticas, que derivan en última instancia de una selección de jeroglíficos.
