Never Had the Like Occurred

Tait, John Gavin

Did the Egyptians have heirlooms? How much did they know about their past and their ancestors, and what did they do with that information? This collection of twelve essays by leading scholars in Egyptology explores these and many other questions from the earliest periods of Egyptian history to the Coptic population during the Byzantine period. The contributors examine both material and textual information about Egyptian attitudes towards the past, exploring archaic features and references, their sense of time and of identity and history. 260p, b/w figs (Encounters with Ancient Egypt, UCL Press 2003)
