5/28/2023 0 Comments Wonderful Things by Jason ThompsonPublished under the auspices of Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities, its contributors include some of the most well-known Egyptologists in the world, covering a broad range of archaeological disciplines and spectrums. This authoritative publication remains the definitive source for the findings of the various archaeological excavations undertaken in Egypt. Wonderful Things will be immensely valuable."-Brian Fagan, author of The Rape of the Nile. "At last a definitive history, which does justice not only to the major players but to lesser lights as well. As much a study of European colonialism in Egypt as a historiography of seventeenth- to nineteenth-century scholarship, this volume is an absolute necessity for anybody with an interest in pharaonic Egypt."-Kara Cooney "Remarkably thorough and yet refreshingly readable, this action-packed history of Egyptology is driven by some extraordinary characters-mostly men but some notable women-who needed to learn everything they could about the culture, land, and language of ancient Egypt. Filled with fascinating facts and characters, Thompson's book is comprehensive and eminently readable and certain to become the standard history of the field for many years to come."-Kent Weeks Paperback Also avaliable in Hardbound Hardbound Hardbound "Jason Thompson has written what is by far the best history of Egyptology yet.
