Description
The Splendor That Was Egypt-Revised Edition Margaret by A. Murray How different would Western life be today had the civilization of ancient Egypt never existed? This excellent survey by a pioneering Egyptologist of the late nineteenth century provides astonishing answers to that question through an insightful exploration of Egyptian life and culture. Noted scholar and feminist Margaret A. Murray examines in detail such topics as food preparation, recreational pastimes, burial customs, religious beliefs, furniture and decor, social rituals, and the importance assigned to art and literature. Enhanced with more than 120 illustrations, the book offers a complete picture of Egyptian achievements in architecture, agriculture, horticulture, clothing, physics, astronomy, medicine, engineering and other sciences, as well as in the establishment of law, government, and religion. A fascinating, readable study that will appeal to historians and general readers alike, this literate investigation of a civilization rich in cultural achievements does "...a fine job of culling the enormous field of Egyptology to bring its best fruits within the scope of the intelligent but busy reader."-Chicago Sunday Tribune
