ISBN10: 0747802858, ISBN13: 9780747802853, [publisher: Shire Publications, Great Britain] Softcover First Edition Book Condition: Very Good. Slight tropical speckling to top page edges, otherwise clean, clear text in tigghtly bound copy. Appears unread. A discussion of Egyptian models, where they are found, who owned them, what purpose they served, where in the tomb they were placed and how they relate to tomb scenes. The scenes and models found in Ancient Egyptian tombs have been misinterpreted by some as examples of childish behavior and beliefs on the part of the Ancient Egyptians, as proof in essence that they were our mental inferiors. The truth, however, is as astounding in its simplicity as it is in revealing the sophistication of their belief structures. These very scenes in fact provided the food and drink needed to sustain the tomb owner in the afterlife. This book covers the origins of these models, from their first appearances during the First Dynasty at Abydos and during the Old Kingdom, down into their final demise during the course of the New Kingdom. The models' placement within the tombs and the significance thereof, the relationship of the models to the tomb scenes, how they related to the owner and how they differed from region to region are all questions which are covered superbly in-depth in this fascinating 72-page book.
