Der Manuelian, Peter 1959- (DE-588)1047958228 aut Walking among pharaohs George Reisner and the dawn of modern egyptology Peter Der Manuelian Oxford Oxford University Press [2023] xxxii, 1043 Seiten Illustrationen txt n nc Enthält Literaturangaben In this expansive new biography of George Reisner, Egyptologist Peter Der Manuelian examines the life and work of America's greatest archaeologist. Manuelian presents Reisner's undeniable impact and considers his life within the context of Western colonialism, racism, and nationalism. Pyramids with hidden burial chambers. Colossal royal statues and minuscule gold jewelry. Decorated tomb chapels, temples, settlements, fortresses, ceramics, furniture, stone vessels, and hieroglyphic inscriptions everywhere. This is the legacy of forty-three years of breathtakingly successful excavations at twenty-three different archaeological sites in Egypt and Sudan (ancient Nubia). George Reisner (1867-1942) discovered all this and more during a remarkable career that revolutionized archaeological method in both the Old World and the New. Leading the Harvard University-Boston Museum of Fine Arts Expedition, Reisner put American Egyptology on the world stage. His uniquely American success story unfolded despite British control of Egyptian politics, French control of Egyptian antiquities, and an Egyptian yearning for independence, all while his Egyptian teams achieved the fieldwork results and mastered the arts of recording and documentation. Reisner's lifespan covers the birth of modern archaeology. It also intersects powerfully with aspects of colonialism, racism, and nationalism, as Western powers imposed their influence on Egypt and sought to control the Suez Canal during especially the two World Wars. The wholesale export of dynastic Egypt's treasures to museums in London, New York, and Boston also raised issues of repatriation and cultural patrimony long before they became the hot topics they are today. Walking Among Pharaohs, by author and recognized Egyptologist Peter Der Manuelian, gathers unpublished documents from all over the world to present the untold story of one of the founding fathers of modern Egyptology and restore his place in the history of world archaeology, while not overlooking some of his cultural interpretations that may be easily rejected today.(Quelle: http://books.google.de/books?id=tT2HEAAAQBAJ&dq=ISBN:9780197628935&hl=&source=gbs_api) Reisner, George Andrew 1867-1942 p (DE-588)11643015X Ägypten Altertum g (DE-588)4068430-1 Ägyptologie s (DE-588)4141476-7 z Geschichte AT-OBV ubw0038 Erscheint auch als Online-Ausgabe 9780197628942 YWORE ORE-BIB EGY-ALL-MAN-2 2240783180004498 |
