Description
A rich account of Egyptian archaeology and the hymns of ancient Egypt, this book is at once a fascinating textbook and a practical guide. Readers with a background in Egyptology as well as those just beginning will be delighted by H. D. Rawnsley's disarming style and often-amusing advice: "On no pretext be induced to drink Nile water," "If you find a donkey falls, change him; he will do it again," "One often escapes the importunity of those who ask for 'bakhsheesh'by nodding, and saying with a smile, 'Bokra, 'which means 'To-morrow.'"
