Katherine Eaton

Ancient Egyptian Temple Ritual (eBook, PDF)

Performance, Patterns, and Practice

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book evaluates the influence of common temple rituals not only on the day to day lives of ancient Egyptians, but also on their special events, economics, and politics. Author Katherine Eaton argues that a study of these daily rites ought to be the first step in analyzing the structure of more complex societal processes.

Rezensionen

'There are few books dedicated to religious practice in ancient Egypt, and this book is a welcome addition. It explores the structure of ritual performance in ancient Egyptian temples and makes it broadly accessible.' -- Geoffrey Tassie, University College London, UK
