Synopsis
Excerpt from Tombs of the Third Egyptian Dynasty: At Reqâqnah and Bêt Khallâf
Egyptian history is now of the first import ance and supreme interest. It is concerned directly with the origin of the Egyptian peoplefinot, indeed, with the ethnological question of their parent stock, for that is necessarily associated with the study of its early prehistoric period, but with a historical point not less important, as to the continuity or otherwise of the people, as revealed by the prehistoric culture, through and into the period when with the definite introduction of writing the historic age, known by the name of the First Dynasty, began. That there should be in either case some overlap in art and customs is not unnatural. But if no special innova tions are to be seen, and if continuity of racial or essential characteristics can be traced bevond and living through the early historic times, and merging naturally with the gradual changes of a later period, then there is evidence of con tinuity of race. And the measure of that con tinuity will be determined by the proportion of those characteristics which survive to those which are. Discontinuous, and the extent to which those which are continuous prevail over or are predominated by any new ones which may appear at the suspected break.

Tombs of the Third Egyptian Dynasty: At Reqâqnah and Bêt Khallâf
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the rich and often overlooked history of the Third Dynasty of Egypt, a period that bridges the gap between the early dynastic era and the rise of the Old Kingdom. Through meticulous analysis of archaeological evidence, the author challenges the traditional view of a sharp discontinuity between these periods. The book examines the continuity of Egyptian culture through the lens of burial customs, tomb construction, pottery, and stoneworking. By tracing the evolution of these practices from the pre-dynastic period through the Third Dynasty, the author reveals a more nuanced picture of cultural development. The book also explores the rise of writing, a crucial marker of the shift into the historic age, and argues that it may have originated in the Nile Delta before spreading to Upper Egypt. Ultimately, this book presents a compelling case for the continuity of ancient Egyptian civilization, demonstrating that the brilliance of the Old Kingdom was not a sudden emergence, but a natural progression from earlier cultural foundations. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
