Ancient
Egyptian
culture
is
one
of
the
oldest
and
most
magnificent
of
man-
kind.
For
a
long
while
the
glories
of
ancient
Egypt
were
not
recognized
in
the
Western
world.
Grecian
culture
so
overshadowed
the
accomplishment
of
ancient
peoples
that,
except
for
the
Romans,
the
others
were
ignored.
In
the
eighteenth
century,
however,
recog-
nition
of
the
Egyptian
contribution
to
the
world's
culture
began.
After
the
first
discoveries
of
sculpture,
reliefs,
and
artifacts,
interest
in
Egypt
grew
tremendously.
One
of
the
distinguishing
features
dominating
Egyptian
culture
was
the
faith
in
immortality.
In
no
other
country
have
men's
creative
powers
and
thoughts
been
centered
so
much
on
the
concern
for
life
after
death.
Human
setdements,
towns,
and
pala-
ces
built
of
perishable
clay
may
now
be
nothing
but
a
pile of
rubble,
but
the
Pyramids,
the
sphinxes,
temples,
and
tombs,
through
their
impressive,
timeless
power
and
silent
grandeur,
even
today
bear
witness
to
men's
hope
of
eternal
life.
Against
the
background
of
ancient
Egypt's
historic,
sociologic,
and
reli-
gious
evolution,
in
clear
text
zingly
fine
illustrations,
and
ama-
this
addition
to
the
Art
of
the
new
World
Series
supplies
a
brilliant
survey
of
the
Golden
Age
of
Egyptian
Art.
