Publisher Description: The volume is dedicated to the results of a recent excavation in Qantir, Egypt, carried out by the Pelizaus Museum Hildesheim under the direction of Edgar Pusch with Arne Eggebricht, which identified the town with Piramesse, the Delta residence of the 19th Dynasty. The site is particularly notable for its royal stable complex, which would have held about 500 horses, and the remains of Rameses II's palace. The volume also examines the unusual pottery vessels and the evidence for glass technology. The archaeology and the artefacts are illustrated and the results of the magnetometer survey are presented in detail. The book is accompanied with a large fold-out plan of the excavation. The text is predominantly in German. |
