Sir E. A. Wallis Budge (1857-1934) was Keeper of the British
Museum's department of oriental antiquities from 1894 until his
retirement in 1924. Carrying out many missions to Egypt in search
of ancient objects, Budge was hugely successful in collecting
papyri, statues and other artefacts for the trustees of the British
Museum: numbering into the thousands and of great cultural and
historical significance. Budge published well over 100 monographs,
which shaped the development of future scholarship and are still of
great academic value today, dealing with subjects such as Egyptian
religion, history and literature. This volume, first published in
1902, is the seventh of eight volumes by Budge dealing with
different periods in the history of Egypt. The narrative begins
with the reign of Uah-ab-Ra, a king of the XXVIth Dynasty, and ends
with that of Ptolemy IV. A period of increasing national
prosperity, the influence of external influences can be seen during
these years, which Budge argues paved the way for the advent of
Christianity. This is a fascinating and important work, which is
still of great value to those interested in Egyptology and
archaeology.
