Salima Ikram

A collection of papers about the manufacture, use, and symbolic meaning of chariots in New Kingdom Egypt (with a couple papers looking at the wider Near East). As always with this sort of collection, the quality and interest of the individual pieces vary, but on the whole it's required reading for anyone interested in Egyptian chariots - particularly as the entire book is legally available for free.

I found this book very informative and interesting. The history, Egyptian mythology, and mummification customs are described in a story-like fashion. This makes the material easy to absorb, and prevents it from becoming too pedantic (which is sometimes difficult for topics of this sort).

A lot of detailed info on burial practices in Egypt. It includes a timeline of types of materials used in making coffins, sarcophagi and other funerary items. Specific mummies are mentioned as a way of describing how the dead were prepared in general during the time of their death. An interesting read for history buffs or fans of Egyptian culture.

This unusual book is a facsimile of a journal written by Emily Sands in 1926. It is reproduced as it
