Description
Though published to accompany the Palazzo Grassi's monumental exhibition in Venice September 2002, this volume offers more than what it on show at the exhibition. Eleven chapters, writter by scholars in the field, provide knowledge on topics as diverse as the nature of pharoaonic power, temple building and Egyptian literature, arts and architecture. More than 600 colour illustrations and specially commissioned photographs from museums all over the world, including the Cairo Museum, comprehensively document current thinking about ancient Egyptian culture, religion and customs.
