Description
Consuming Ancient Egypt examines the enduring influence of this ancient civilization on contemporary people's lives. From the Egypt tourist experience to its inspiration in film and opera, the book explores why so many books are published about Egyptological subjects. The authors consider how Ancient Egypt interacts with the living world, looking at aspects such as architecture, museum-going, souvenir acquisition, design, and the appeal of the mummy. They also examine the significance of Egypt as a marketing subject in consumer society, revealing much about its timeless appeal and the psychology behind its enduring fascination.
