Guide to the Antiquities of Upper Egypt: From Abydos to the Sudan Frontier (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Guide to the Antiquities of Upper Egypt: From Abydos to the Sudan Frontier
This volume has been prepared for the use of visitors to the monuments of Upper Egypt, that is to say, all those situated between Balianeh, the southernmost town of Middle Egypt, and Adendan, the last Egyptian village on this side of the Sudan frontier. The majority of visitors, after leaving Cairo and its neighbourhood, do not make more than one or two excursions in Middle Egypt; and the fact that the present writer has not the opportunity to describe the ancient sites between Cairo and Balianeh, will not be found greatly to lessen the scope of the book.
The only claim which is made for this Guide is that each chapter has been written actually in, or in a few cases a stone's throw away from, the temples or tombs therein described.
