  • Die Zeit der Regionen im Spiegel der Gebelein-Regionby Ludwig Morenz

    BRILL 2009; US$ 272.00

    Egyptian historiography is determined by the fact that transmission of the historical record is left to chance.

  • Pyramid Builders of Ancient Egyptby Rosalie David

    Routledge 1997; US$ 46.95

  • Cosmos Of Khnumhotepby Kamrin

    Taylor and Francis 2013; US$ 500.00

    Scholars often assume that elite, or high-status tomb chapels of the Egyptian Old and Middle Kingdoms featured decorations in order to provide for the eternal needs of the deceased.
