Turquoise in the Ancient Egyptian Civilization: an archaeological, textual, and religious study - BAR International Series 2602

Copertina del libro
€ 39,00
Versione stampata

The present work is an attempt to give a comprehensive overview of turquoise and its role in Ancient Egypt. Turquoise was mined mainly in Sinai, at Maghara and at Serabit el Khadim, where the stone occurs in the sandstone rock. Ancient Egyptian mineralogical studies have neglected turquoise, focussing instead on the study of other minerals and metals such as gold, silver, and copper.
