  • Egyptian Tales Translated from the Papyri: IVth to XIXth Dynasty

    by Sir William Matthew Flinders Petrie ...
    It is strange that while literature occupies so much attention as at present, and while fiction is the largest division of our book-work, the oldest literature and fiction of the world should yet have remained unpresented to English readers. The tales of ancient Egypt have appeared collectively only in French, in the charming volume of Maspero's "Contes Populaires" ; while some have been ... Read more

  • A Voyage to Terra Australis Undertaken for the Purpose of Completing the Discovery of that Vast Country, volume 1 of 2

    by Matthew Flinders ...
    First published in 1814. "The publication in 1814 of a voyage commenced in 1801, and of which all the essential parts were concluded within three years, requires some explanation. Shipwreck and a long imprisonment prevented my arrival in England until the latter end of 1810; much had then been done to forward the account, and the charts in particular were nearly prepared for the engraver; but it ...

  • The Religion of Ancient Egypt

    by Sir William Matthew Flinders Petrie ...
    Before dealing with the special varieties of the Egyptians' belief in gods, it is best to try to avoid a misunderstanding of their whole conception of the supernatural. The term god has come to tacitly imply to our minds such a highly specialised group of attributes, that we can hardly throw our ideas back into the more remote conceptions to which we also attach the same name. It is unfortunate ... Read more

  • Methods and Aims in Archaeology

    by William Matthew Flinders Petrie ...
    In few kinds of work are the results so directly dependent on the personality of the worker as they are in excavating. The old saying that a man finds what he looks for in a subject, is too true; or if he has not enough insight to ensure finding what he looks for, it is at least sadly true that he does not find anything that he does not look for. Whether it be inscriptions, carvings, papyri, or ... Read more

  • The Arts and Crafts of Ancient Egypt

    by William Matthew Flinders Petrie ...
    The art of a country, like the character of the inhabitants, belongs to the nature of the land. The climate, the scenery, the contrasts of each country, all clothe the artistic impulse as diversely as they clothe the people themselves. A burly, florid Teuton in his furs and jewellery, and a lithe brown Indian in his waist-cloth, would each look entirely absurd in the other’s dress. There is no ... Read more

  • Egyptian Decorative Art: A Course of Lectures Delivered at the Royal Institution

    by William Matthew Flinders Petrie ...
    In dealing with the subject of decorative art in Egypt, it is needful to begin by setting some bounds to a study which might be made to embrace almost every example of ancient work known to us in that land. The Egyptian treatment of everything great and small was so strongly decorative that it is hard to exclude an overwhelming variety of considerations. But here it is proposed to limit our view ...

  • The Status of the Jews in Egypt

    by William Matthew Flinders Petrie ...
    In considering the history of any people, one of the main elements is that of their status. What were their abilities and how were they shown? What permanent mark did they make on their period? How did they stand in reference to their neighbours, in the same country and in other countries? There are now Jews in Lemberg and Jews in Paris; but how entirely differently we regard them, because of ... Read more
