Description: Schulz, Regine, Matthias Seidel and Hartwig Altenmüller, Eds. (1998). Egypt: The World of the Pharaohs. Köln, Könemann. One cannot wish for a better visual and textual introduction to the art and civilization of Ancient Egypt. This sumptuous large format book of high quality 540 pages is an excellent survey of all aspects of Ancient Egypt written by world renowned scholars. [from the book's flaps] Roman emperors, Arab scholars, and early travelers all succumbed to the fascination to the land of the Nile and to this day the pyramids of Giza, the temple prescient of Karnak, the Valley of the Kings, and the Tomb of Tutankhamen retain their unique attraction. The civilization of Ancient Egypt continue to cast its spell across the millennia. This is undoubtedly due to the astonishing architectural, artistic, and technological achievements of that culture, as well as its advanced system of writing and the quality of it literature. Equally Impressive is the all-embrassing philosophy of Ancient Egypt Io which science and religion formed an indisulable whole. An International team of scholars has come together for this book In order to present the extraordinarily rich legacy of ancient Egypt in all of its many aspects. The chronological span is from prehistoric times to the Greco-Roman period. Besides the great achievements in architecture, sculpture, and painting, the authors cover many individual topics relating to the state, society, mid religion. More than 800 photographs, maps, and diagrams give visual immediacy to the highly informative text, bringing that vanished world in all its complexity vividly to life.
