BOOKS ON ANCIENT EGYPT FROM

ANCIENT EGYPTIAN WARFARE Tactics, Weaponry and Ideology of the Pharaohs By Ian Shaw A concise introduction to Ancient Egyptian warfare from the Neolithic period through to the Iron Age, covering everything from battle tactics to weaponry and battle injuries, from Ian Shaw, Research Fellow in Egyptian Archaeology at Liverpool University. The excellent preservation of Egyptian artefacts means that it is possible to track the changing nature of Egyptian military technology, as well as the equipment and ideas that were adopted from other civilisations of the Eastern Mediterranean and Near East. As well as discussing military strategy, martial ideology, construction of fortresses and waging of siege warfare, this book includes the study of practical ques­tions of life, death and survival of individual soldiers on the battlefield.

GILDED FLESH

Coffins and Afterlife in Ancient Egypt Edited by Rogério Sousa This book examines twelve non-royal tombs found relatively intact, from the plains of Saqqara to the sacred hills of Thebes. From the Pre-dynastic times to the decline of the New Kingdom, this book explores each site, revealing the interconnection between mummification p r actices, c offin dec oration, burial equipment, tomb decoration and ritual landscapes. Through this analysis, the author aims to point out how the design of coffins ch anged through time in order to empower the deceased with different v isions o f immortality.

THE NAOS OF AMASIS

A Monument for the Reawakening of Osiris By Dr. Marco Zecchi

The naos AM 107 of the Museum of Antiquities of Leiden was built by king Amasis in the VIth century BC, a period that saw an intense production of monolithic shrines. Despite its unimpressive dimensions, the naos of Leiden stands out for its originality. What is particularly interesting about this monument is that its distinctiveness is strictly connected to the nature of its recipient. This book explores both the monument and the enigmatic god to whom it was dedicated: Osiris Hemag, one of the most important and enigmatic Osirian forms of the first millennium BC.

PERSPECTIVES ON LIVED RELIGION Practices - Transmission - Landscape

Edited by Nico Staring, Huw Twiston Davies and Lara Weiss Religion in the ancient world, and ancient Egyptian religion in particular, is often perceived as static, hierarchically organised, and centred on priests, tombs, and temples. This volume examines this ‘cultural geography’ through the study of three vectors of religious agency: religious practices, the transmission of texts and images, and the study of religious landscapes, by bringing together papers by experts in a variety of Egyptological disciplines and other fields of study.

CREATURES OF EARTH, WATER AND SKY Essays on Animals in Ancient Egypt and Nubia

Edited by Stéphanie Porcier, Salima Ikram and Stéphane Pasquali Ancient Egyptians always had an intense and complex relationship with animals in daily life as well as in religion. Despite the fact that research on this relationship has been a topic of study, gaps in our knowledge still remain. This volume presents well over 30 contributions that explore Human-Animal relationships from the Predynastic to the Roman period. The essays cover topics such as animal husbandry, mummification, s pecies-specific st udies, the archaeology and economy of the animal cults, funerary practices, iconography and symbolism.

PREHISTORIC POTTERY FROM DAKHLEH OASIS, EGYPT By Ashten R. Warfe

As one of the few surviving artefacts from the late prehistory of northeast Africa, pottery serves as an essential material category by which to explore long-term human development. This book presents a major study on the ceramics recovered from early and mid-Holocene sites in Egypt’s Dakhleh Oasis, which come from 96 registered sites and five other findspots and comprise more than 10,000 sherds. A firmer grounding in the oasis ceramics, as detailed here, offers inroads to examine social practices and the interconnectedness of desert groups of the ancient Eastern Sahara.
