The Experience of Ancient Egypt: Experience of Archaeology
Autor Rosalie Daviden Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 ian 2011
In an engaging style, the author traces Egyptology from its classical roots, through the painstaking process of deciphering Egyptian hieroglyphs in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, to the most up-to-date bio-medical and archaeological techniques, never forgetting how time has proved that it is impossible to deliver the absolute truth about ancient Egypt.
