Excerpt from Ancient Egypt: In the Light of Modern Discoveries The costliness of nearly all truly valuable works upon Ancient Egypt will prevent the owning; the very fullness of some others will prevent the reading; but, after the own ing and reading, there is much that manv can not be blamed for forgetting, while much remains which all should remember. The author of this work has long been a student of Egyp tian history and archaeology. He has studied the monuments and inscriptions in their native land, after visiting them in their exile in the museums of Great Britain and on the Conti nent, and has enjoyed what he knew upon the subject. After much study and repeated visits to Egypt for that purpose, the traveler will come home, as the author has, to find that; in going to Egypt, he left large treasures of. Egyptian knowledge behind him, in the books, essays, translations, and periodicals, as well as original monuments, which are already to be found throughout Europe, and, to some small amount, even in America.

[T]he veil which has hidden the beginnings of Egyptian civilization from us has been lifted, and we see things, more or less, as they actually were, unobscured by the traditions of a later day. Until the last few years nothing of the real beginning of history in either Egypt or Mesopotamia had been found... Nor was it seriously supposed that any relics of prehistoric Egypt or Mesopotamia ever would be found. -from "Chapter I: The Discovery of Prehistoric Egypt" A very exciting time for historians, the beginning of the 20th century saw dramatic new discoveries that greatly expanded our understanding of the ancient world...and opened up new ranges of questions to be answered and mysteries to be solved. In 1910, two members of the Department of Egyptian and Assyrian Antiquities at the British Museum published this journal of the latest news from the realm of Egyptology, a breathless, almost ecstatic, but always scholarly rundown of the most recent findings uncovered in the deserts of yore, from startling archaeological revelations about the Neolithic peoples of Egypt to the unearthing of hitherto unknown dynastic tombs. A fascinating document of the history of the study of history, this beautiful book, replete with 100 plates and illustrations, will delight amateur Egyptologists and armchair archaeologists alike. Among many other works of classical history, H. R. HALL also wrote Babylonian and Assyrian Sculpture in the British Museum (1928), and L. W. KING, A History of Sumer and Akkad (1910).

Excerpt from New Light on Ancient Egypt I have been trying for about fifteen years to bring a science supposed to be only comprehensible to experts within the reach of ordinary men, and it would be gratifying to find that I have not wasted my time, and that through my efforts, some portion of the general public have become interested in it. I have drawn my material from everything that can be discussed with educated people without demanding anything more than a little attention: excavations, religion, travels, popular customs, literature, history, have each and all furnished me with subjects. The result is a "living picture" of the researches made in the domain of Egyptology during a period of fifteen years. I have faithfully stated the opinions of others, and have more freely expressed my own opinions than I imagined I had, before re-reading the sheets. Recent discoveries have proved some of them to be true, others are still doubtful. In the groundwork of the essays, however, I have made no changes, beyond a few modifications in the style and manner of expression.

It is astonishing to think that many great archaeological discoveries occurred in Egypt only by way of accident during the 19th and 20th centuries. Even today accidents still play a vital, frequent and sometimes comical role, with new discoveries happening almost weekly and with many more secrets of the ancient Egyptian civilization still remaining. This book takes readers beyond these discoveries and their associated accidents. This book cannot be considered purely as an Egyptological and archaeological reading or even as dry history pages covering Egypt's modern era of the 19th and 20th centuries. Rather, it is a book that sheds light on the intimate links between the birth of Egyptology after the deciphering of the famous Rosetta Stone and the raging world politics and regional power shifts in Egypt and its surroundings. The book ties together the political storms of colonialism in the first half of the 19th century and the unsettling effect these upheavals had on Egypt during the reign of Mohamed Ali Pasha. In a storytelling style, the book is a journey through time and place. The book takes readers on a guided tour to most of Egypt's well-known monuments that were mainly discovered by simple accident or in which an accident played a major part leading to discovery. In addition, the book leads readers through time exploring ancient Egypt, the days of the pharaohs, ancient gods, rituals and public ceremonial festivals, with old and new stories that shed light on the true value of such discoveries in antiquity and modern day.

Excerpt from Life in Ancient Egypt The need of a popular work on the manners and customs of Ancient Egypt has long been felt by the English public. Herr Erman supplied this need in Germany by the publication of his Aegypten, but no English scholar has attempted to fill this gap in Egyptian literature since the time of Wilkinson. In the light of modern discoveries Wilkinson's valuable book, as far as the letterpress is concerned, has now long become obsolete; the illustrations on the other hand will always remain a mine of wealth to every writer on this subject. In the present work, for instance, the low price of the German edition forbade the introduction of many original drawings, and Herr Erman, who chose the illustrations specially to amplify and explain the text, found that the three works most useful to him for this purpose were the Manners and Customs, by Wilkinson, the Denkmäler, by Lepsius, and L'Histoire de l'Art, by Perrot-Chipiez. With regard to the text, finding little to help him in the work of previous scholars, Herr Erman for several years devoted all the time he could spare from his official duties to original research on the subject. The two works he mentions as having been of special service to him are Lepsius' Denkmaler and The London Select Papyri; in fact he would almost regard the present work as a commentary on those great publications. A list of quotations from these works is given at the end of this edition. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
