| Publisher Description: First published in 1863, this vintage book contains a fascinating treatise on Egyptian mythology and Egyptian Christianity, looking in particular at their influences on modern Christianity. Also included is a the 1911 lecture "The Egyptian Conception of Immortality" by George Andrew Reisner. Samuel Sharpe (1799 - 1881) was an English Unitarian banker. In his spare time, he made substantial contributions to Biblical translation and the field of Egyptology. Contents include: "Founding of the Monarchy", "Accession of Seneferu and End of Archaic Period", "Accession of Unas", "Death of Pepy II and Fall of the Monarchy", "Rise of Feudalism", "Restoration of the Monarchy", "Marriage of Usertesen to Nefert", "Advent of the Hykos", "Expulsion of the Hykos by Aahmes", etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork. |
