Voices from Ancient Egypt: An Anthology of Middle Kingdom Writings Condition: New Availability: Usually ships in 24 hours Price: $20.66 (It might be cheaper, visit top link) (3 Customer Reviews) Editorial Review: Voices from Ancient Egypt is an anthology presenting translations of sixty documents from a golden age of ancient Egyptian culture (c. 2081-1600 BC). The documents illustrate all aspects of life and the place of literacy in an early civilisation. The 'voices' range from the high formal literature of religious rituals and royal monuments to the hurried requests of the bureaucrats and the jokes of harrassed workmen. They tell a tale not ony of the intellectual beliefs of the elite, but of family feuds, love and murder, as well as the pastoral dreams of a society trying to attain its vision of absolute order in a chaotic universe. This volume is a reissue of the valuable introduction to ancient Egyptian literature, first published in 1991. Table of Contents Introduction; The Intellectual Setting of Cosmos and State; The King; The Life of the Land; Religious Life; The Other Life; Epilogue; Glossary; Bibliography.

	Society and Death in Ancient Egypt: Mortuary Landscapes of the Middle Kingdom Condition: New Availability: Usually ships in 24 hours Price: $33.29 (It might be cheaper, visit top link) Editorial Review: In Society and Death in Ancient Egypt, Janet Richards considers social stratification in Middle Kingdom Egypt, taking as the point of departure the assumption that a 'middle class' arose during this period. By focusing on the entire range of mortuary behavior, rather than on elite remains, she shows how social and political processes can be reconstructed. Richards demonstrates that the roots of the middle class can be traced to the later Old Kingdom and First Intermediate Period. Combining information from excavations, ancient Egyptian texts, and decorative reliefs and statuary, the book weaves together a wide variety of sources that aid us in understanding how Middle Kingdom Egyptians thought about society and death and how their practices and landscapes relating to death reveal information about the living society.

	Stones of the Pyramids: Provenance of the Building Stones of the Old Kingdom Pyramids of Egypt Condition: New Availability: Not yet published Price: $98.00 (It might be cheaper, visit top link) Editorial Review: During the Egyptian Old Kingdom (2650-2135 BC), the most impressive of all monuments were built in the form of the pyramids and their associated temples. The provision of enormous quantities of stone from suitable quarries was the most important requirement for their construction. As well as short archaeological descriptions of the pyramids and their enclosures, the exact origin of the building material (above all limestone) from a total of 26 pyramids was determined by petrographic and geochemical comparison with samples from quarries.

	Egypt in the Eastern Mediterranean during the Old Kingdom (Orbis Biblicus et Orientalis) Condition: New Availability: Usually ships in 24 hours Price: $100.00 (It might be cheaper, visit top link) Editorial Review: This study presents a revised view of Egyptian foreign relations in the eastern Mediterranean during the Old Kingdom (3rd-6th Dynasties) based on an extensive analysis of old and new archaeological data, and its relationship to the well-known textual sources. The material demonstrates that while Egypt's most important relationships were with Byblos and the Lebanese coast generally, it was an active participant in the geo-political and economic affairs of the Levant throughout much of the third millennium BCE. The archaeological data shows that the foundation of these relationships was established at the beginning of the Early Dynastic Period and essentially continued until the end of the 6th Dynasty with ebbs, flows and changes of geographical and political emphasis. It is argued that, despite the paucity of textual data, the 4th Dynasty represents the apogee of Egypt's engagement in the region, a time when the centralised state was at the height of its power and control of human and economic capital. More broadly, this study shows that Egyptian interaction in the eastern Mediterranean fits the pattern of state-to-state contact between ruling elites which was underpinned by official expeditions engaged in gift and commodity exchange, diplomatic endeavours and military incursions.
