Описание: The rich history of Egypt has provided famous examples of board games played in antiquity. Each of these games provides evidence of contact between Egypt and its neighbours. From pre-dynastic rule to Arab and Ottoman invasions, Egypt’s past is visible on game boards. This volume starts by introducing the reader to board games as well as instruments of chance and goes on to trace the history and distribution of ancient Egyptian games, looking particularly at how they show contact with other cultures and civilizations. Game practices, which were also part of Egyptian rituals and divination, travelled throughout the eastern Mediterranean. This book explores the role of Egypt in accepting and disseminating games during its long history. Over the last few years, the extent and the modes of contact have become better understood through museum and archival research projects as well as surveys of archaeological sites in Egypt and its surrounding regions. The results allow new insight into ancient Egypt’s international relations and the role of board games research in understanding its extent. Written by three authors known internationally for their expertise on this topic, this will be the first volume on Ancient Egyptian games of its kind and a much-needed contribution to the field of both Egyptology and board games studies.

Автор: Bongo Katanga A. Название: Civilization and the Ancient Egyptians ISBN: 1432722638 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781432722630 Издательство: Неизвестно Цена: 3442.00 р. Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ.
Описание: Uncover the True History of Ancient Egypt Like the discovery of an unknown mummy's tomb, Katanga A. Bongo's Civilization and the Ancient Egyptians sheds important new light on the most fascinating epoch in human history: Ancient Egypt. In this heavily researched work, Bongo traces the evolution of civilization not to the Middle East, as most scholars do, but rather the South American tribes whose cultures greatly influenced what became the Land of the Pharaohs. It's a tale of astonishing legends, staggering scientific advances, major cultural achievements - and disturbing practices (including the South American penchant for human sacrifice). Through analysis of indigenous folklore and linguistic evidence, Bongo reveals a fresh picture of Africa and the nascent cultures that populated it. What emerges is an engaging account of life for both ordinary people and the major players - Kufu, Tutu-ank-Amen, Maya and others - whose contributions set the stage for all civilizations that followed.
