MUMMIES, MYTH AND MAGIC IN ANCIENT EGYPT
El Mahdy, Christine
London: Thames & Hudson. Very Good- in Very Good- dust jacket; Shallow dent in bottom edge of both covers, else binding and contents are almost as new. Very minor rubbin/wear on clean, complete DJ. c. 1989. Hardcover. Tan textured boards, bright gold lettering. 155 illustations, 22 of which are in full color. Glossary. Chronology. Index. HISTORY. This book "...reveals how the practice of mummification arose, how it was perfected, and how it came to play a central part in the ancient Egyptian quest for eternal life. Through sacred writings like the Pyramid Texts and Book of the Dead, and the magnificent legacy of tomb paintings, we catch vivid gliimpses of the afterlife imagined by courtiers and kings, their journey to the next world eased by the amulets and offerings buried with them. But it is the mummies themselves that have the richest story to tell. In medieval times they were crushed to become aphrodisiacs; a hundred years ago the 'unwraping of a mummy from egypt' was billed as an entertainement; and the twentieth century has created its own superstition in the shape of the fabled 'Curse of the Pharaohs', linking the discovery of Tutankhamun's mummy and tomb with the death of Lord Carnorvon..."; 7-3/8 x 9-3/8"; 192 pages .
