A propos de cet article

"Egyptian hieroglphs unite art and writing in a conscious plan to attain eternal life. The success of that plan can be read in the 3000 year lifespan of Pharaonic tradition, and can only be understood through its religious foundation. Stephen Quirke sets out the history of the texts designed to guarantee life beyond death, from the Pyramid Texts for kings and queens, c2400BC to the Book of the Dead used by king and subject alike after 1600BC." Over 174 illustrations. The book is near F, the dj is VG with a crease to the front internal flap. We regret this is a heavy book there will need to be additional postage charges outside Europe.
