Summary

This book is the first major publication based entirely on Manchester Museum’s Egyptology collections. It explores the Graeco-Roman Period (c. 300 BCE–200 CE) of Egyptian history, asking to what extent our modern image of Egypt as a land of gold, sex, art and death is representative of ancient concerns and realities.

Golden Mummies of Egypt: Interpreting Identities from the Graeco-Roman Period by Campbell Price

Golden Mummies of Egypt presents new insights and a rich perspective on beliefs about the afterlife during an era when Egypt was part of the Greek and Roman worlds (c. 300 BCE–200 CE). This beautifully illustrated book, featuring photography by Julia Thorne, accompanies Manchester Museum’s first-ever international touring exhibition. Golden Mummies of Egypt is a visually spectacular exhibition that offers visitors unparalleled access to the museum’s outstanding collection of Egyptian and Sudanese objects – one of the largest in the UK.
