Carol Andrews Bücher

Die Geschichte der Entdeckung des Rosetta-Stones, wie er nach England kam und wie er aus der altägyptischen Sprache übersetzt wurde.

This volume publishes more than 200 objects from the private collections of W Arnold Meijer, making them available for the first time to the general public. Accompanying texts by a team of renowned scholars explain in an exemplary manner how ancient Egyptian artists worked stone, wood, glass, bronze, and other materials into unique pieces of art. Other texts tell about the function and use of these objects in everyday life and link their imagery to the mythology and the gods and goddesses of ancient Egypt.

Carol Andrews presents an illustrated account of how mummies were made, the religious beliefs which lay behind this practice, the ornate coffins and elaborate tombs which housed the bodies and the grave goods which accompanied them.
