Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'The Problem of the Obelisks' offers a fascinating archaeological and engineering investigation into one of the most enduring mysteries of ancient Egypt: how were the massive granite obelisks quarried, transported, and erected Written by renowned archaeologist Reginald Engelbach, this work…centers on a meticulous study of the Unfinished Obelisk at Aswan, a colossal monument that remains partially attached to the bedrock in its original quarry.Through detailed analysis and technical insight, Engelbach explores the practical methods employed by ancient Egyptian craftsmen. He addresses the physical challenges of extracting single blocks of stone weighing hundreds of tons and the ingenious logistical solutions used to move them across the landscape and down the Nile. The book provides a step-by-step examination of the quarrying process, the tools utilized, and the potential theories regarding the final placement of these iconic structures.Essential for students of archaeology, architecture, and ancient history, 'The Problem of the Obelisks' serves as a primary resource for understanding the technical brilliance of the Pharaonic era. It transforms a silent stone monument into a rich narrative of human ingenuity, labor, and architectural ambition.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Couverture rigide. Condition: Très bon. Edition originale. Etat : très bon état, légèrement frotté. Illustrations : une planche en noir et blanc et une carte dépliante hors-texte. Reliure : demie-toile de l'époque. Volumes : 1 volume. Format : in-folio. Pages : 32 pp. Editeur : Le Caire, Printing office of the French institute o…f oriental archaeology. Date : 1924. A supplement to the Topographical catalogue of the private tombs of Thebes (Nos 253 to 334). Avec quelques notes sur la nécropole de 1913 à 1924. Par Reginald Engelbach. Le Caire 1924. Edition originale. Supplément de : A topographical catalogue of the private tombs of Thebes. By Alan H. Gardiner and Arthur E. P. Weigall, 1913. Reginald - Rex - Engelbrecht (1888-1946) était un égyptologue et un ingénieur britannique. Il a fait ses études à l'école de Tonbridge et a ensuite suivi une formation d'ingénieur à l'Institut City and Guilds, 1905-8, mais ses études ont été interrompues par une longue maladie, et une visite en Égypte pendant sa convalescence en 1909-10 l'a amené à s'intéresser à l'égyptologie. Il étudie l'égyptien, le copte et l'arabe à l'University College de Londres et, en 1911, il devient l'assistant de Petrie, effectuant des fouilles à Héliopolis, Shurafa, Kafr Ammar, Riqqa et Haraga. En 1914, il rejoint les Artists Rifles et sert en France et à Gallipoli. Il est ensuite envoyé par Allenby pour faire un rapport sur les sites antiques de Syrie et de Palestine. Après la guerre, il retourne aider Petrie à Lahun et Gurob, en 1919-1920, et est nommé inspecteur en chef en Haute-Égypte pour le service des antiquités. Engelbach a mené une carrière active sur le terrain et dans le domaine de l'organisation et de la gestion de musées, sa plus grande réalisation étant sans aucun doute son grand Registre des musées du Caire.
