Description
From ancient Rome to the present day, ancient Egypt has been a source of fascination and inspiration in many other cultures. But why? Egypt by Christina Riggs introduces the history, art, and religion of Egypt from its earliest dynasties to its final fall to Rome and explores the influence ancient Egypt has had through the centuries.
Looking for a vanished past, she argues, always serves some purpose in the present.
