THE TRAVELER’S KEY TO.
ANCIENT EGYPT
is a new kind of guidebook. It concentrates upon
the inner meaning of the sacred art and architee-
ture of Ancient Egypt as it is revealed in symbolism,
harmony, measure, and proportion. At the same
time, it is the only guide to present an overview of
the currents of scholarship that make up modern
Egyptology, including all the major theories on
the origin and purpose of the pyramids, and on
such controversial figures as the heretic pharaoh
Akhenaten and the great queen Hatshepsut, as
well as detailed explanations of the extraordinary
funerary texts carved and painted in the Egyptian
tombs.
The Traveler’s Key to Ancient Egypt is both a
practical guide and an essential companion for the
modern pilgrim, and a stimulating introduction for
anyone contemplating the journey.
