喬安.佛列契—埃及考古權威、
BBC古埃及歷史紀錄片《不朽的埃及》首席主講人,
她曾發表找到「娜芙蒂蒂木乃伊」而引發轟動,
參與紀錄片《把艾倫製成木乃伊》:
自願者於死後依照保存圖坦卡門遺體的防腐技術,
製作成現代木乃伊。
她以不同的感官方式,帶我們與古埃及相遇:
壁畫、神廟、金字塔、木乃伊、象形文字,
科技、文獻、考古推敲;
從神話、遊牧到立國,從盜墓者到最後的法老,
將已知的碎片連綴成更真實生動的歷史!
神秘的古埃及擁有眾多神話傳說,
最身歷其境的古埃及文明巨作
貫穿五千年時間軸,跳脫現有研究框架邊界,
跨越不同地域和社會階層,
突破以往聚焦於男性主導的帝王和祭司,
描述更為平衡、更為少見的古埃及真貌。
本書以古埃及一代代的王朝為軸線,
→為何後繼的法老會成為「盜墓者」,潛入先祖們的墓室?
→王室為了維持血統純正與合法行使統治權,
→法老木乃伊的受損非盜墓者所為,竟然是祭司搞的鬼?!
→古埃及人隨身帶往來生世界的陪葬品,總是強烈暗示了某種信念。
→當時人們配戴的飾品可視為「失傳的語言所殘留下的詞彙」,
→蠍子王看似來自神祕古老埃及的虛構人物,
→墓葬是有效的時光膠囊,把最古老的埃及人帶回現代:
→多達六十位君主的第十三王朝時期,
→廟堂牆上刻畫膜拜阿吞神的場景,
→雕像的姿勢、眼神、鑲嵌的寶石材質、繪製顏色,
→很多辨識度極高的埃及元素,原來都是我們的誤解?!
→女法老在埃及史上至少出現過十位,
「一切歷史都是當代史」,書中的故事都非野史戲說,
