Egypt in Ancient and Modern Tales, Travels and Explorations

TRAMA

Egypt has long captivated the imagination through its literature, tales, and accounts from ancient and modern explorers. In antiquity, it served as the realm of pharaohs, steeped in myths that intertwined gods and humanity. Herodotus marveled at its wonders, while Napoleon's expedition unearthed its mysteries. The stories passed down to us also offer insights into various facets of everyday life in ancient Egypt–human emotions, connection with nature, and the desire to discover unknown lands. This volume, presented to prof. Marilina Betrò, delves into Egypt’s history, weaving ancient and modern narratives. It explores Egypt not only as a land of wonders but also as a place that resonates with its ancient societies and their perspectives. – Introduction Gianluca Miniaci, Christian Greco, Paolo Del Vesco, Mattia Mancini, Cristina Alù – Shaping life as a journey and displaying it in biographies and tales John Baines – A new reading of an Old Kingdom administrative title (Hry-Szp) related to quarry expeditions Andrés Diego Espinel – Specialisti di viaggi nel deserto: gli j??.ww e i nw.w, intermediari e guide per le spedizioni minerarie faraoniche Cristina Alù – ‘The mouth of the two ways’: Ezbet Rushdi, a crossroads between Sinai and the Levant in the Middle Kingdom Francesco Missiroli – In the Heart of the Sea: The Island As Chronotope in the Tale of the Shipwrecked Sailor Angelo Colonna – ‘Fiori lapislazzuli’: una nota filologica e archeobotanica ad una lirica amorosa del vaso di Deir el-Medina Flora Andreozzi – Representations on animals in Ancient Egypt: parallel traditions through the millennia.
