Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This rather expensive (but worthy) book aims to be an all-covering research on all of the bird-species existing at the times of the Pharaohs. The author have had recourse to every representation and hieroglyphic sign, in order to provide good-grounded identification with present-day nomenclature. But he has not limited himself to that; he also has researched in the role that birds played in ancient Egyptian religion and everyday life. Moreover, he has provided us with a systematic list of modern Egyptian birds, their Arabic names and even with a comparison between their present range with that in ancient times. Last, but not the least: it is profusely illustrated, so as to be a joy for the eyes. A very valuable manual, both for "birds-enthusiasts", general reader and students/professionals of ancient Egypt.
