The discipline of Egyptology has been criticized for being too insular, with little awareness of the development of archaeologies elsewhere. It has remained theoretically underdeveloped. For example, Egyptologists and Africanists have rarely considered the role of Ancient Egypt within Africa. Egypt's own view of itself has been neglected; views of it in the ancient past, in more recent times and today have remained underexposed. The Complete Set of Encounters with Ancient Egypt is a series of eight books, which addresses these issues. The books interrelate, inform and illuminate one another. An extraordinary work of synthesis, the series promises to endure as an important contribution to the study of Ancient Egypt." - Ronald Leprohon, Univ. Toronto " These are volumes that will be well used over he coming years and, collectively, they give a view of the Ancient Egyptians and how they saw themselves, but mainly their tremendous influence on other cultures, both contemporary and also others, long after the Ancient Egyptian civilisation ended, right up to the present day." - Ancient Egypt Magazine "There is much useful and informative material here This is a collection of great value to the student of the culture and history of ancient Egypt and its place in the ancient world as well as of its widespread and lasting influence." - Journal of the American Oriental Society Titles in the Encounters with Ancient Egypt series include: Imhotep Today: Egyptianizing Architecture Jean-Marcel Humbert and Clifford Price, editors Mysterious Lands David O'Connor and Stephen Quirke, editors 'Never Had the Like Occurred': Egypt's View of its Past John Tait, editor Views of Ancient Egypt: Imperialism, Colonialism and Modern Appropriations David Jeffreys (Editor) The Wisdom of Egypt: Changing Visions Through the Ages Peter Ucko and Timothy Champion, editors Ancient Egypt in Africa David O'Connor and Andrew Reid, editors Ancient Perspectives on Egypt Roger Matthews and Cornelia Roemer, editors Consuming Ancient Egypt Sally MacDonald and Michael Rice, editors This series is sponsored by Institute of Archaeology, University College London.
