Opis

Examines Ancient Egypt's own multifaceted encounters with its past. This book follows a chronological arrangement, from early Egypt to the attitudes of the Coptic population in the Byzantine Period. It asks what access the Egyptians had to information about the past, what use was made of it, what were the Egyptians attitudes to the past, and more.
