  • 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 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
