Description
Egypt has been a source of fascination and inspiration in many cultures for centuries. Christina Riggs explores the history, art, and religion of ancient Egypt to understand why it has had such a profound influence.
The ancient past has always been used to serve contemporary purposes, with different societies drawing on Egyptian philosophy, art, and culture to inform their own ideas and values. From the Renaissance to modern times, Egypt has been reinterpreted and reimagined in various ways, reflecting changing attitudes towards the country's history and significance.
This book helps us understand why ancient Egypt continues to be a touchpoint for defining and debating who we are today, and how its legacy is still felt in our world.
