ISBN: 9781904675303 / Angielski / Miękka / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Early Christian Books in Egypt
ISBN: 9780691140261 / Angielski / Twarda / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. For the past hundred years, much has been written about the early editions of Christian texts discovered in the region that was once Roman Egypt. Scholars have cited these papyrus manuscripts--containing the Bible and other Christian works--as evidence of Christianity's presence in that historic area during the first three centuries AD. In Early Christian Books in Egypt, distinguished papyrologist Roger Bagnall shows that a great deal of this discussion and scholarship has been misdirected, biased, and at odds with the realities of the ancient world. Providing a detailed picture of... For the past hundred years, much has been written about the early editions of Christian texts discovered in the region that was once Roman Egypt. S... |

Egyptian Tomb Architecture: The archaeological facts of pharaonic circular symbolism
ISBN: 9781407303390 / Angielski / Miękka / 106 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This thesis, sure to prove controversial, examines the geometry of Old Kingdom Royal tomb architecture, arguing for far greater levels of mathematical sophistication than hitherto admitted. Adding his own contribution to the Black Athena debate, Lightbody also claims that the debts in measurement, geometry and mathematics which the Greeks owe to the Egyptians has also not been fully recognised, not least due to an overfocusing on philological evidence.

ISBN: 9789004179332 / Niemiecki / Twarda / 954 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Egyptian temples are commonly perceived as monumental buildings and royal institutions.
