L’Égypte au fil de l’eau / Egypt along the Water
Description | The authors | Contents | View a few pages in PDF
Egypt and the Nile have never ceased to inspire dreams, as evidenced by the famous statement ‘Egypt is a gift of the Nile,’ which underscores the fundamental role of the ancient flood. Renewing the exploration of the theme of the central role of the Nile and the sea in Egyptian civilization was a given in the neo-Louvainist egyptological tradition. The studies gathered in this volume by seasoned egyptologists offer a variety of approaches on this theme, combining textual, iconographic, geographical, climatological, and archaeological sources, as well as a very broad chronological coverage: from the predynastic period to the present day.
Different perceptions of the Nile and the sea are proposed in this work. The first one concerns mobility and travel (pilgrimage, commercial, or military) whether within Egypt itself or beyond its borders. The second axis of reflection focuses on philological and linguistic elements related to the register of water. Finally, the last axis refers to the Nile and the sea perceived as mythical elements.
