Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. *Controversy over an Ancient Egyptian Artifact Provoked a Modern Debate between Religion & Science. The Dendera zodiac--an ancient bas-relief temple ceiling adorned with mysterious symbols of the stars & planets--was first discovered by the French during Napoleon's campaign in Egypt, & quickly pr…ovided a controversy between scientists & theologians. Brough to Paris in 1821 & ultimately installed in the Louvre, where it can still be seen today, the zodiac appeared to depict the nighttime sky from a time predating the Biblical creation, & therefore cast doubt on religious truth. This book tells the story of this incredible archaeological find.

Paperback. Condition: New. A major new history of the race between two geniuses to decipher ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, set against the backdrop of nineteenth-century EuropeIn 1799, a French Army officer was rebuilding the defenses of a fort on the banks of the Nile when he discovered an ancient stele fragment bearing a decree… inscribed in three different scripts. So begins one of the most familiar tales in Egyptology-that of the Rosetta Stone and the decipherment of Egyptian hieroglyphs. This book draws on fresh archival evidence to provide a major new account of how the English polymath Thomas Young and the French philologist Jean-François Champollion vied to be the first to solve the riddle of the Rosetta.Jed Buchwald and Diane Greco Josefowicz bring to life a bygone age of intellectual adventure. Much more than a decoding exercise centered on a single artifact, the race to decipher the Rosetta Stone reflected broader disputes about language, historical evidence, biblical truth, and the value of classical learning. Buchwald and Josefowicz paint compelling portraits of Young and Champollion, two gifted intellects with altogether different motivations. Young disdained Egyptian culture and saw Egyptian writing as a means to greater knowledge about Greco-Roman antiquity. Champollion, swept up in the political chaos of Restoration France and fiercely opposed to the scholars aligned with throne and altar, admired ancient Egypt and was prepared to upend conventional wisdom to solve the mystery of the hieroglyphs.Taking readers from the hushed lecture rooms of the Institut de France to the windswept monuments of the Valley of the Kings, The Riddle of the Rosetta reveals the untold story behind one of the nineteenth century's most thrilling discoveries.

Hardcover. Condition: New - Very Good. Originally embedded in the ceiling of an ancient Egyptian temple, the Zodiac of Dendera was discovered by the French during Napoleon's invasion of Egypt. Some thought it represented the night sky at the time of carving, allowing astronomy to trace Egypt's history back 15 millennia, thus cha…llenging biblical chronology. This study explores both the influence of the zodiac on the savants who accompanied the emperor's campaign, and the debates it re-ignited when the stones arrived in Paris in 1821. Slightly off-mint.

Hardcover. Condition: New. In the early 19th century the hieroglyphic, Greek and demotic Egyptian texts of the Rosetta Stone became a challenge for two men: the English doctor and academic Thomas Young and a young French republican, Jean-François Champollion. Both focused on deciphering the hieroglyphic puzzle, but from within v…ery different intellectual spheres: this study traces their different lives and motivations and the paths they followed to their conclusions.
