James Henry Breasted was an American archaeologist, Egyptologist, and historian who focused on the study of Egypt. His work contributed to the development of Egyptology in the United States, where he founded the Oriental Institute at the University of Chicago. He became known as a pioneer in his field, and his research illuminated ancient Egyptian history.
In this 1912 work, James Breasted discusses the significance of the 'Pyramid Texts' to the understanding of Egyptian religious thought. He is particularly interested in the development of a moral sense in the context of the traditional pantheon, and in the influence of the developing Egyptian empire on its religion.
The book offers a richly illustrated exploration of Egypt's history, spanning from its ancient beginnings to the Persian conquest in 525 BCE. It delves into significant events, cultural developments, and the evolution of Egyptian civilization, providing readers with a comprehensive understanding of this fascinating era. The visual elements enhance the narrative, making it an engaging resource for those interested in ancient history.
