Description
This collection of multidisciplinary essays honours Egyptologist Professor Rosalie David OBE and explores three key aspects of ancient Egyptian civilisation: mummies, magic and medical practice. Recent archaeological fieldwork, new research on human remains, reassessments of ancient texts and modern experimental archaeology are combined to shed light on some of the discipline's biggest questions.
Leading experts in their fields bring traditional Egyptology and innovative scientific approaches together to provide a cutting-edge overview of the discipline. The result is a comprehensive understanding of how Egyptology has developed over the last forty years, while still grappling with its most enduring enigmas.
