It looks at the Egypt tourist sees, Egypt in film and Egypt as the inspiration for opera. It asks why so many books are published each year on Egyptological subjects at all levels, from the austerely academic to the riotous celebrations of Egypt as a land of mystery, enchantment and fantasy. It then considers the ways in which Ancient Egypt interacts with the living world, in architecture, museum going, the acquisition of souvenirs and reproductions, design, and the perpetual appeal of the mummy. The significance of Egypt as an adjunct to (and frequently the subject of) marketing in the consumer society is examined. It reveals much about Egypt's immemorial appeal and the psychology of those who succumb to its magic. 410 0$aEncounters with ancient Egypt (London, England) 606 $aCivilization$xEgyptian influences 606 $aEgyptology 607 $aEgypt$xAntiquities 607 $aEgypt$xCivilization$yTo 332 B.C 615 0$aCivilization$xEgyptian influences. 615 0$aEgyptology. 676 $a932 676 $a932.01 22 701 $aMacDonald$b Sally$01877514 701 $aRice$b Michael$f1928-$0625556 712 02$aUniversity College, London.$bInstitute of Archaeology. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910960755303321 996 $aConsuming ancient Egypt$94489776 997 $aUNINA
