Product Description

Review

"...the information contained in this book... reminds us... how important a site the Necropolis at Thebes is..."
--Ancient Egypt Magazine

Product Description

Thebes is almost certainly the largest archaeological site in Egypt, and in recent years the tombs of the city's ancient inhabitants have been studied more intensively than ever before. This collection of essays reflects the current state of research on many aspects of the site, from the monuments of the Middle Kingdom (c. 2000 BC) to the people who live in the area in the present day. Together they present many new insights into the topography and history of the necropolis and the function and development of the various objects placed in the tombs, as well as offering valuable indications of the direction which future work might take. The majority of the papers were originally presented at an international conference held at the British Museum in July 2000.

Wonderful Book!!! 10 May 2005
By Emmy G - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This volume was wonderful. The book represented a publication of several articles presented at an international conference on the Theban necropolis that took place at the British Museum, London in 2000. This book is not for those on the go. The articles were in no way light reading. However, anyone from Egyptologists to laymen could read and understand the articles. The various articles covered everything from the general to the specific, the ancient to the modern. The separate articles were written by different scholars and Egyptologists. They contained an almost complete history of the Theban Necropolis. Anyone with even the slightest interest in the Theban Necropolis would enjoy this volume. The articles ranged in focus from purely archaeological records to fascinating interpretive studies. The volume seemed to focus primarily on the tombs of the nobles and officials buried there and not so much on royal tombs. The tombs in Valley of the Kings did not appear often in this volume. The other areas in the necropolis, such as Dra Abu el-Naga, the Assasif, Sheikh Abdel Qurna, and Deir el Medina, were the main focus in most of the articles. Each article pertained to the development of Western Thebes as an archaeological site. The compilation of the various articles accurately captured the spirit of the site.
