Description
|
|
|
|
This heavily illustrated guidebook to the artifacts, art works, and architecture of ancient Egypt provides the visitor with a quick orientation and art-historical foundation for studying this endlessly fascinating land. It has descriptions of the most important sites of interest—the pyramids at Giza, the lighthouse at Pharos, the oldest parts of Cairo, the ancient capital of Memphis—and depicts all of the monuments discussed. Numerous essays explore cultural and historical themes, and the pharaonic names are shown in their hieroglyphic forms. This book is part of a series of compact, pleasingly chunky art books that focus on a particular city, place, or region, presenting outstanding examples of the art and architecture found there. Each offers a quick orientation and art historical explanations, hundreds of color photographs of the works discussed, essays on history and culture, maps and plans with thumbnail views, an illustrated time chart, and a guide to architectural styles.
