Book Description
There is scarcely an Egyptian temple, pyramid, obelisk, wall painting, or sculpture that does not possess some
hidden meaning--meaning that can only be understood by reference to the fundamental symbolic code used by ancient
Egyptians. Symbol and Magic in Egyptian Art reveals the language of this ancient code, which endured for thousands
of years. Its formulae include the symbolism of shape and size, the significance of location, color symbolism,
the magical meaning of numbers, hieroglyphic signs, and the language of the body. This authoritative guide, the
first-ever thematic treatment of this aspect of Egyptian art, will appeal to the art lover, traveler, Egyptophile,
and anyone fascinated by the mysteries of the ancient symbols.
