Throughout the centuries, ancient Egypt has been a source of fascination and inspiration to many people and societies. Christian Riggs, in this rich and detailed exploration of the ancient civilization, introduces the history, art and religion of Egypt from its earliest dynasties to its final fall to Rome. She explores how ancient Egypt has been depicted across countless cultures, from Roman frescoes to Hollywood films, and the impact it had on modernist movement in the arts, such as the Harlem Renaissance and Egyptian Pharaonism, which was fuelled by the 1922 discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun. Looking for a vanished past, Riggs argues, always serves some purpose in the present. Book jacket.
