The Animals of Ancient Egypt Then and Now provides a simultaneous guide to some 60 species of mammal, bird, reptile, amphibian, fish and invertebrate recorded in modern Egypt and also portrayed in the tombs and temples or as mummies and gods in ancient Egypt – or even earlier in the case of the cave art from the Gilf Kebir.
Accompanied by contemporary photographs of the living animals alongside tomb carvings or paintings, each species is described in terms of its current characteristics (size, habits and habitats, and range in modern Egypt) as well as the animal’s religious and practical significance to ancient Egyptians. The introduction covers biogeography, ancient Egypt and its wildlife, modern developments, a chronology of ancient Egypt, the relevant gods and goddesses of ancient Egypt and a glossary.
