Innovationen und Extravaganzen - Paperback

by Melanie Wasmuth (Author)

This detailed examination of the architecture of the tombs of Egyptian officials during the 18th Dynasty is based on a catlogue of Theban tombs. Making geographical and chronological comparisons, Wasmuth discusses evidence for architectural innovations, particularly in the extremely elaborate layout of chambers and passages. The study is illustrated throughout with tomb plans while the catalogue includes datils of inscriptions and epithets as well as descriptions of the tomb design. German text.
