From one of the worlds greatest Egyptologists, an original and brilliant study of the inner life of ancient EgyptThe Mind of Egypt presents an unprecedented account of the mainsprings of Egyptian civilizationthe ideals, values, mentalities, belief systems, and aspirations that shaped the first territorial state in human history. Drawing on a range of literary, iconographic, and archaeological sources, renowned historian Jan Assmann reconstructs a world of unparalleled complexity, a culture that, long before others, possessed an extraordinary degree of awareness and selfreflection.Moving through successive periods of Egyptian civilization, from its beginnings in the fifth millennium b.c.e. until the rise of Christianity 4,500 years later, Assmann traces the crucial roles of the pharaohs, the priests, and the imperial bureaucracy. He explores the ideal relation of man to God and explains monumental architecture and ritual celebrations as expressions of that ideal. Most strikingly, he focuses on the meaningful world of ancient Egyptthe multiple notions of time, the structures of immortality, and the commitment to the principle of social justice and human fellowship.Widely acclaimed for his crossdisciplinary approach, Assmann has produced a tantalizing study of an ancient civilization, even as he has opened new directions in historical investigation.

I found this book to be a bit dense at times. It’s packed with information about the Pharaohs, but it took me a while to get through it. Still, if you’re into deep dives of Egyptian history, you’ll enjoy it!
