Living In The Past cover

Living in the Past includes studies in Archaism of the Egyptian Twenty-sixth Dynasty and was first published in 1994. This study focuses on the Egyptian archaizing spirit which reached its climax under the Saite Twenty-sixth Dynasty (664-525 B.C.), resurrecting elements from earlier stages of Egyptian civilization. The primary focus of the investigation is the archaizing language (Neo-Mittelãgyptisch) of the Saite Egyptians, for both royal and private texts of Dynasty 26 display language which aspires to pass as Classical Egyptian.
