Klappentext zu „City of the Ram-Man - The Story of Ancient Mendes “
"Donald Redford's "City of the Ram-Man" will interest specialists and armchair archaeologists alike. Redford looks at even the most complex archaeological and historical data with the eye of a storyteller. He constantly weaves interesting and often little-known details into the warp of his story, and his work is a rare thing--a consummate fusion of solid scholarship and truly readable history."--Richard H. Wilkinson, author of "The Complete Temples of Ancient Egypt""This interesting and engaging book shows how one major archaeological field project--the excavations at Mendes--illuminates nearly the entire sweep of ancient Egyptian history. One of the major Egyptologists of his generation, Donald Redford is a giant, and this book plays on a giant stage. It is also a great read."--John S. Holladay Jr., professor emeritus, University of Toronto
