Author Description

Excerpt from Egyptian Archaeology The interpretation of the architecture, decoration, and furnishing of the Egyptian tomb, as given in this manual, was drawn by M. Maspero from his study of the Fourth to Sixth Dynasties remains in the cemeteries of Memphis, later developments being traced through the great Theban periods of the Middle and New Kingdoms and the renascence of the Twenty-sixth Dynasty. The account of the civil and domestic life and the industrial arts is less historical in plan, and deals rather with conditions and objects typical of Egyptian civilization as a whole.
