Synopsis

Excerpt from Manual of Egyptian Archæology: And Guide to the Study of Antiquities in Egupt; For the Use of Students and Travellers

Since the last edition was issued in 1902 new material has been acquired in great abundance. Our knowledge of the earliest developments of Egyptian archaeology has been consolidated and extended by further careful and prolonged study of the primitive remains that have come down to us, with results that have widened our perspective and extended our knowledge of Egyptian history. The discovery of valley temples has necessitated some changes in the chapters on tombs and temples. It has there fore been decided to retranslate the book, re modelling it where absolutely necessary, and introducing new material, but preserving its main characteristics untouched.
