"Never Had the Like Occurred" examines Ancient Egypt's own
multifaceted encounters with its past. As Egyptian culture
constantly changed and evolved, this book follows a chronological
arrangement, from early Egypt to the attitudes of the Coptic
population in the Byzantine Period. Within this framework, it asks
what access the Egyptians had to information about the past,
whether deliberately or accidentally acquired; what use was made of
the past; what were the Egyptians attitudes to the past; what sense
of past time did the Egyptians have; and what kinds of reverence
for the past did they entertain? This is the first book dedicated
to the whole range of these themes. It provides an explanatory
context for the numerous previous studies that have dealt with
particular sets of evidence, particular periods, or particular
issues. It provides a case study of how civilizations may view and
utilize their past.
