Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Print on Demand. This book details the results of an archaeological dig that uncovered the ancient Egyptian colony of Buhen, which was established as a military colony near the Second Cataract to protect the southern borders of the Egyptian Empire. Led by the author, a team of archaeologists spent five years studying and excavating the site, uncovering temples, fortresses, and other structures from the Middle and New Kingdoms. Positioned between the mountains of the western desert and the river Nile, Buhen was founded in the Middle Kingdom as a defence against incursions from the south. The author provides a detailed historical account of the site, revealing how it was expanded and altered under Hatshepsut and later under Tuthmosis III, who dedicated one of the excavated temples to Horus. The author argues that the site was abandoned in the Twentieth Dynasty, though it was later inhabited by the Romano-Nubians and Copts, each of whom left their own distinct mark and architectural features. The excavation of Buhen not only gives us insights into this particular Egyptian colony but also contributes significantly to our understanding of Egypt's southern frontier policy in the Middle and New Kingdoms. It also provides a valuable resource for studying the architectural evolution of New Kingdom temples and fortresses, and reveals the intricate cultural interplay and societal changes that took place in the region throughout multiple historical periods. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.
