Drawing on Jungian psychology to show why Egypt has been so
important in the history of Western civilisation, Michael Rice
explains the majesty and enduring appeal of Egyptian
civilization.
Jung claimed that there exist certain psychological drives
dormant in our shared unconscious: these are the archetypes. From
the omnipotent god to the idea of the nation state, the formulation
of most of these archetypes is owed to ancient Egypt.
Michael Rice sets out to recover the sense of wonder that the
Egyptians themselves felt as they contemplated the world in which
they lived, and the way they expressed that wonder in the religion,
art and literature. He traces the story of Egyptian civilization
from its emergence in the third millennium BC to its transformation
following the Macedonian conquest in 30 BC.
