Keywords:
This volume, published in honour of Egyptologist Prof. Rosalie David OBE, presents the latest research on three of the most important aspects of ancient Egyptian civilisation: mummies, magic and medical practice. Drawing on recent archaeological fieldwork, new research on Egyptian human remains, reassessments of ancient Egyptian texts and modern experimental archaeology, these essays try to answer some of Egyptology's biggest questions: How did Tutankhamun die? How were the Pyramids built? How were mummies made?

A number of leading experts in their fields combine both traditional Egyptology and innovative scientific techniques to ancient material. The resulting overview presents the state of Egyptology in 2016, how it has developed over the last forty years, and how many of its big questions still remain the same.

It should be on every amateur and professionals bookshelf, and it is published at an extremely reasonable price in view of the high quality of its academic contents and its production. Peter A. Clayton, Ancient Egypt, Vol 17, No. 97, Aug/Sept 2016

All in all the volume pays a honorific tribute the remarkable legacy of Professor Rosalie David by fully demonstrates the effectiveness of the multidisciplinary collaboration in Egyptology and the importance of adopting an integrative approach to the Egyptian material culture.
