In a ruined temple along the Nile, Anthony Sattin sees a woman
praying to the gods of ancient Egypt to bless her with a child.
Later that day, a policeman stops his taxi to ask to borrow a
mobile phone to call his mother. The ancient rubs up against the
modern just as dramatically as when Flaubert wrote, 'Egypt is a
wonderful place for contrasts - splendid things gleam in the dust".
Anthony Sattin has tracked down extraordinary examples of ancient
survivals in the hurly-burly of modern Egypt.

Just incredible. So well written and easy to read . Egypt is a fascinating and ancient society with layer upon layer of history. Don’t miss this.
