Description

EgyptFrom prehistory to the Romans The architecture of the pharaohs represents some of the most impressive creative work ever produced in Egyptian art and yet it has never been completely assessed. This volume is a singularly complete record of the architecture of the pharaohs ranging from 3000 BC to the Egyptian style of today, from the Sudan to the Mediterranean, and from simple clay brick buildings to monumental pyramids. Recent research and evocative pictures blend to create a new view on the oldest architecture in the world - a very special kind of journey through Egypt. The Dietrich Wildung is Curator of the Egyptian Museum in Berlin and professor of Egyptology at the Freie Universität in Berlin. He directs excavations in the Nile Delta and organises international exhibitions about Egypt. He specializes in art in the Kingdom of the Pharaoh. The Henri Stierlin was born in Alexandria in 1928. In 1948 he published his first articles on art history and made numerous radio and television programmes on the history of civilisation.
