Egypt, Egyptian Literature, Geographical Myths, Social Science / Archaeology

In Egyptian culture there were artistic depictions and literary recordings of actual places and encounters with foreign lands and peoples, and those that were imagined. This collection of eleven essays looks at both of these mysterious lands' and the role they fulfilled within Egyptian society. From trying to pinpoint the Land of Punt, the Sea Peoples' and the places recorded in the Book of the Fayum, the contributors also explore the Egyptian concepts of the underworld, and the religious, intellectual and emotional needs that these fed. 245p, b/w figs (Encounters with Ancient Egypt, UCL 2003)
