Description
The Mind of Egypt presents an account of the mainsprings of Egyptian civilization – the ideals, values, mentalities, belief systems and aspirations that shaped the first territorial state in human history. Drawing on a range of literary, iconographic and archaeological sources, Jan Assmann reconstructs a world of unparalleled complexity, a culture that, long before others, possessed an extraordinary degree of awareness and self-reflection.
