Description

The sensational discovery in 1922 of Tutankhamuns tomb, close on the heels of Britains declaration of Egyptian independence, accelerated the growth in Egypt of both Egyptology as a formal discipline and of `pharaonism-popular interest in ancient Egypt-as an inspiration in the struggle for full independence. Emphasizing the three decades from 1922 until Nassers revolution in 1952, this compelling follow-up to Whose Pharaohs? looks at the ways in which Egypt developed its own archaeologies-Islamic, Coptic, and Greco-Roman, as well as the more dominant ancient Egyptian.
