Full Description
The Animals
of Ancient Egypt Then and Now
provides a simultaneous guide to some 60 species of mammal, bird,
reptile, amphibian, fish and invertebrate recorded in modern Egypt and also
portrayed in the tombs and temples or as mummies and gods in ancient Egypt - or
even earlier in the case of the cave art from the Gilf Kebir.
Accompanied by contemporary photographs of the living
animals alongside tomb carvings or paintings, each species is described in
terms of its current characteristics (size, habits and habitats, and range in
modern Egypt) as well as the animal's religious and practical significance to
ancient Egyptians. The introduction covers biogeography, ancient Egypt and its
wildlife, modern developments, a chronology of ancient Egypt, the relevant gods
and goddesses of ancient Egypt and a glossary.
