The Royal Tombs of Ancient Egypt by Aidan Dodson Pdf

The renowned Egyptologist presents a fascinating and comprehensive history of Ancient Egyptian pyramids, mausolea and other funerary monuments. The royal tombs of ancient Egypt include some of the most stupendous monuments of all time, containing some of the greatest treasures to survive from the ancient world. This book is a history of the burial places of the rulers of Egypt from the very dawn of history down to the country’s absorption into the Roman Empire, three millennia later. During this time, the tombs ranged from mudbrick-lined pits in the desert, through pyramid-topped labyrinths to superbly decorated galleries penetrating deep into the rock of the Valley of the Kings. The Royal Tombs of Ancient Egypt is the most comprehensive study of ancient Egyptian funerary monuments to date. Egyptologist Aidan Dodson examines not only the burial places themselves, but also the temples built to provide for the dead pharaoh’s soul. The volume covers the tombs of both native and foreign monarchs as well as royal family members.

Royal Tombs of Sipán by Walter Alva,Christopher B. Donnan Pdf

"Royal Tombs of Sipán was written to serve as a catalogue for the museum exhibition of the same name. Its primary aim is to provide an account of the discovery, excavation, and current interpretation of the three royal tombs that were scientifically revovered from Sipán between 1987 to 1990. We have tried to relate them to the royal tomb that, so tragically, was looted at Sipán before the archaeological work began, and to demonstrate the value of careful archaeological excavation as opposed to clandestime looting"--Preface.

Ancient Egypt by Barry J. Kemp Pdf

From an archaeological perspective, and drawing on new excavations, Kemp (Egyptology, Cambridge) explores ways in which Egypt of about 3000-1000 BC prefigures our own culture. He discusses what he sees as major shaping forces of the civilization, such as political myth and ideology, bureaucracy, the quest for food and work, charismatic rule, the political and economic constraints on daily life, and the interplay between change and stability through the centuries. Contains many plans of buildings and towns, and redrawings of carvings. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.
