Year: 1995 Language: english Author: Dilwyn Jones Genre: History Publisher: British Museum Press Edition: First ISBN: 9780292740396 Format: PDF Quality: Scanned pages Pages count: 97 Description: Drawing on archaeological and literary evidence, Dilwyn Jones examines the importance of the boat in Egyptian ritual and belief, as well as in everyday life. The sun god was thought to travel across the sky in a solar boat, and Egyptians believed that the deserving might join the god Osiris in his divine bark after death. Boats played an important part in funerary ritual; models were often placed in tombs to provide the deceased with safe passage through the Winding Waterway in the underworld. Also, boats are frequently depicted in tomb paintings. The Nile has always been a vital transport artery for Egypt and boats the principal means of travel. Early papyrus skiffs gradually gave way to wooden craft of increasing size and sophistication, ranging from fishing boats and barges to seagoing warships, splendid ships of state and enormous obelisk barges used to transport stone to temples and monuments. Dilwyn Jones traces the development of the different types of boats and the techniques of their construction through the Old, Middle, and New Kingdom periods. The book is illustrated with photographs of boat models and paintings and with line drawings.
I am terribly sorry for the inconvenience everybody. Unfortunayely the link to the original file was broken and I could not restore it. Thus, I had to remove the old release, and upload it again as a new relesase. Best regards, kpanago1960
Hello all. It would be nice if someone could post to the information section some directions on "what we need to do, if the link to the original uploader's file fails". This is also important, because the hard disks we use, may broke down someday, and therefore it would be nice to know if we can link the already uploaded files to our files in the new hard disk. Best regards, kpanago1960
