Islamic Geometric Art Biography

Source:- Google.com.pk
A tour-de-force of archaeological writing, this is the definitive account of Amarna and its inhabitants

NOW IN PAPERBACK!

‘Kemp brilliantly combines history, archaeology, and art history to develop a complete picture of the onetime capital of ancient Egypt … a beautiful and informative book, a rare find for experts and general readers alike’ – Publishers Weekly
‘Professor Barry Kemp, perhaps the world’s most experienced Egyptologist, has devoted over thirty years to Amarna’s exploration and excavation. In this book he is able to offer unparalleled insights into the life and times of the citizens of ancient Egypt and of the exceptional man, the so-called “heretic pharaoh”, who ruled over them more than three millennia ago.’ – Colin Renfrew, University of Cambridge
‘Well-written and clearly structured … very well illustrated’ – Egyptian Archaeology
City of Akhenaten and Nefertiti

A city of temples, royal palaces, civic offices and elite tombs, and simultaneously a city of small-scale mud-brick dwellings, Amarna was an ‘urban village’, where most of its citizens were only two or three steps removed in the social scale from the king himself.

Barry Kemp evokes the unique character of this famous capital, bringing to life its people, from Akhenaten, Nefertiti and the royal family to priests and craftsmen, in this brilliantly written and imaginatively conceived account of the mysterious Amarna interlude.

Barry Kemp is Emeritus Professor of Egyptology at Cambridge University and has been conducting research and excavations at Amarna since 1977. Among his many publications are specialist reports on his work at Amarna, the standard introduction, Ancient Egypt: Anatomy of a Civilization, and 100 Hieroglyphs: Think Like an Egyptian.

Now in paperback, the definitive account of one of Egypt’s most important ancient sites, written by the world authority

Abydos is one of the most fascinating and archaeologically important sites in southern Egypt. This beautifully illustrated book will be of interest to anyone who ever wondered about the origins of one of the greatest world civilizations.

David O’Connor clarifies not only the complex history of Abydos, but also, through an exploration of the sacred landscape of the area, vividly evokes the power it held for contemporary Egyptians.

As both the burial place of the first kings of Egypt and a cult centre of Osiris, god of the dead, this sacred area has long tantalized archaeologists with its continuing yield of incredible finds, including the earliest indications of writing in Egypt as well as a stunning array of temples, tombs and other enigmatic structures, many far earlier even than the first pyramids at Saqqara.

David O’Connor is in an unrivalled position to provide the most up-to-date and comprehensive account of this unique site, and has himself made some of Abydos’ most sensational discoveries, including 14 buried boats – the earliest built boats to be preserved anywhere.

David O’Connor is a leading authority on Abydos and has been involved in research there for over 40 years. He is the Lila Acheson Wallace Professor of Ancient Egyptian Art at the Institute of Fine Arts, New York University and Professor Emeritus in Asian and Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Pennsylvania. He is also the Curator Emeritus of the Egyptian Section of the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology.
