Description

A generously illustrated selection of John Baines's influential writings on two core areas of ancient Egyptian civilization: the role of writing, which was very different in antiquity from what is familiar in the modern world, and the importance of visual culture.

These questions are explored through a number of case studies.

The volume assembles articles that were scattered in publications in a variety of disciplines, making available key contributions on coreproblems of theory, comparison, and analysis in the study of many civilizations and offering important points of departure for further research.

Three wholly new essays are included, and the overall approach is an interdisciplinary one, synthesizing insights from archaeology, anthropology, and art historyas well as Egyptology.
