The book covers a wide range of topics, including the use of stone, pottery, glass, metals, and textiles, as well as the techniques and tools used in their production. Lucas provides in-depth information on the sourcing and processing of these materials, as well as their use in everyday life, religious practices, and funerary customs. The book also includes detailed descriptions of the various industries in ancient Egypt, such as agriculture, mining, and weaving. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and culture of ancient Egypt, as well as those studying materials science and industrial archaeology.1926. There are several periods of Egyptian history, lasting in some cases two or three hundred years, about which very little is known, and even of the periods that are better known the information is very partial. With such gaps in the existing knowledge, a final statement regarding the earliest or latest production of use of any material is impossible, and all that can be done is to give the dates for which the various materials have been recorded.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
