Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Language of the Ancient Egyptians and Its Monumental RecordsIn the annals of philological research we seek in vain for a study that can lay juster claim to a first position, for any that has made more rapid and important progress in a short time than that of the Ancient Egyptian language. It was reserved to our century to solve the mystery of a language that had for more than one thousand years baffled the ingenuity and most searching inquiry of great men and scholars. Fifty years ago still witnessed the first beginnings of a science struggling for existence amid a chaos of opinions, while leaning for support on an unpretending black stone bearing a trilingual inscription. Yet this weak support was destined afterwards to become the very foundation of this study, and the discovery of this stone at Rosetta in 1799 inaugurated a new era in archaeological re search and scientific investigation. Many years of labor passed before the correct alphabet was determined and then, with the help of Italian scholars, the Coptic was resuscitated from the darkness that was' gathering around it, being then at the brink of utter decay. The Egyptian words were then carefully com pared with the Coptic, and at last the meaning of words deter mined irrespective of the Greek translation of the Rosetta Stone, whose version was nevertheless fully corroborated. To one man above all belongs the honor of having watched over the early stages of the study with a jealous and loving eye, the illustrious founder of the science of Egyptology, Francois Champollion (17 91 At the time of his death the study had made a most remarkable progress and found worthy suc cessors to build up the mighty structure we have now. To another man, Richard lepsius (1810 one of the greatest scholars and profoundest thinkers of this century, we owe the critical examination of Champollion's system and the gradual consummation of the work in its present form. His incessant labors have given to the study of Egyptian its prominent posi tion in philology, in literature, in history, in the arts and exact seiences. Through him the knowledge gained of ancient Egypt has been treasured up in the books of scholars, has elicited the unbounded praise of all nations, has increased our knowledge of history, has furnished weapons against the ad verse criticism of the Bible, and has insured to the study of Egyptian a permanent place in the leading universities of the world. He lived to see the time that the Stone of Tanis (other wise called the Decree of Canopus), discovered by himself, proved beyond the shadow of a doubt the truth of his teach ings and of his whole system of interpretation. Since then every voice of Opposition has been silenced. As can readily be inferred, he has not done all this work by himself, but had a host of willing laborers, whose names form around him a halo of surpassing lustre. Suffice it to recall such names as Brugsch, Ebers, Duemichen, men before whom science bows in homage, or such as Birch (england), Pleyte (holland), Rouge, Chabas and Maspero (france). A host of admirers of Egyptology is pressing on in the wake of these scholars, and adds fame to the laurels already gained by them. Progress is the watch word of Egyptology, nor need we be surprised at this, as we must bear in mind that thousands of monuments still remain buried away under the sand of the desert and the soil of the N ile-valley and that each addition to the discovered inscriptions helps to fill up some little gap that appears in various parts of this young study.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Literature of the Ancient Egyptians This little book is intended to serve as an elementary introduction to the study of Egyptian Literature. Its object is to present a short series of specimens of Egyp tian compositions, which represent all the great periods of literary activity in Egypt under the Pharaohs, to all who are interested in the study of the mental development of ancient nations. It is not addressed to the Egyptological specialist, to whom, as a matter of course, its contents are well known, and therefore its pages are not loaded with elaborate notes and copious references. It represents, I believe, the first attempt made to place before the public a summary of the principal contents of Egyptian Literature in a handy and popular form.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Literature of ancient Egypt is the product of a period of about four thousand years, and it was written in three kinds of writing, which are called hieroglyphic, hieratic, and demotic. In the first of these the characters were pictures of objects, in the second the forms of the characters were made as simple as possible so that they might be written quickly, and in the third many of them lost their picture form altogether and became mere symbols. Egyptian writing was believed to have been invented by the god Tehuti, or Thoth, and as this god was thought to be a form of the mind and intellect and wisdom of the God who created the heavens and the earth, the picture characters, or hieroglyphs as they are called, were held to be holy, or divine, or sacred...Sir Ernest Alfred Thompson Wallis Budge was an English Egyptologist, Orientalist, and philologist who worked for the British Museum and published numerous works on the ancient Near East.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Man perishes; his corpse turns to dust; all his relatives pass away. But writings make him remembered' In ancient Egypt, words had magical power. Inscribed on tombs and temple walls, coffins and statues, or inked onto papyri, hieroglyphs give us a unique insight into the life of the Egyptian mind. Egyptologist Toby Wilkinson has freshly translated a rich and diverse range of ancient Egyptian writings into modern English, including tales of shipwreck and wonder, obelisk inscriptions, mortuary spells, funeral hymns, songs, satires and advice on life from a pharaoh to his son. Spanning over two millennia, this is the essential guide to a complex, sophisticated culture. Translated with an Introduction by Toby Wilkinson

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twenty scholars have contributed to this book which deals with the development and characteristics of the literature of ancient Egypt over a period of over more than two millenia, from the monumental origins of autobiography at the end of the Old Kingdom (ca. 2150 BC) down to the latest literary compositions in Demotic during the Graeco-Roman period (300BC-200AD). The book is divided into thirty chapters concerned with the definition of literary discourse, the history and genre of the texts, their linguistic and stylistic features and the image of Egypt as displayed in later literary traditions - Greek, Coptic and Arabic. Thoroughly interdisciplinary.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in the 1940s and widely condemned as obscene, The Egyptian outsold every other American novel published that same year, and remains a classic; readers worldwide have testified to its life-changing power. It is a full-bodied re-creation of a largely forgotten era in the world’s history: an Egypt when pharaohs contended with the near-collapse of history’s greatest empire. This epic tale encompasses the whole of the then-known world, from Babylon to Crete, from Thebes to Jerusalem, while centering around one unforgettable figure: Sinuhe, a man of mysterious origins who rises from the depths of degradation to get close to the Pharoah...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presenting dynamic research, this publication explores two millennia of cultural interactions between Egypt, Greece, and Rome. From Mycenaean weaponry found among the cargo of a Bronze Age shipwreck off the Turkish coast to the Egyptian-inspired domestic interiors of a luxury villa built in Greece during the Roman Empire, Egypt and the Classical World documents two millennia of cultural and artistic interconnectedness in the ancient Mediterranean. This volume gathers pioneering research from the Getty scholars' symposium that helped shape the major international loan exhibition Beyond the Nile: Egypt and the Classical World (J. Paul Getty Museum, 2018). Generously illustrated essays consider a range of artistic and other material evidence, including archaeological finds, artworks, papyri, and inscriptions, to shed light on cultural interactions between Egypt, Greece, and Rome from the Bronze Age to the Late Period and Ptolemaic dynasty to the Roman Empire. The military's role as a conduit of knowledge and ideas in the Bronze Age Aegean, and an in-depth study of hieroglyphic Egyptian inscriptions found on Roman obelisks offer but two examples of scholarly lacunae addressed by this publication. Specialists across the fields of art history, archaeology, Classics, Egyptology, and philology will benefit from the volume's investigations into syncretic processes that enlivened and informed nearly twenty-five hundred years of dynamic cultural exchange.

Download or read book Royal Annals Of Ancient Egypt written by Wilkinson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-08-21 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 2000. The kings of ancient Egypt’s first five dynasties were responsible for the creation of a unique and enduring civilisation, epitomised by its most impressive monuments, the pyramids. Yet what do we know about the reigns of these kings? Excavations have revealed much, but Egyptology has always been blessed with another rich source of information - the written texts and inscriptions composed by the ancient Egyptians themselves. For the history of the first five dynasties, one particular series of inscriptions has always been of prime importance. This is the collection of inscribed stone fragments known as the Royal An- nals. Now divided between museums in Palermo, Cairo and London, these documents from ancient Egypt have been the focus of countless studies in the century or so since they first came to light, for they seem to record the reigns of Egypt’s early kings on a reign-by-reign, year-by-year basis. The information they contain has been translated, interpreted and re-interpreted by generations of Egyptologists, in the hope of achieving a better understanding of the first great period of ancient Egyptian history. And yet amazingly for such crucial documents -- no complete edition of all seven surviving fragments has ever been published. Royal Annals of Ancient Egypt fills this gap. The text is accompanied by specially commissioned, detailed line-drawings of all the fragments.
