In "Egypt's Legacy", Michael Rice explains the majesty and enduring
appeal of Egyptian civilization. He draws on Jungian psychology to
show why Egypt has been so important in the history of the West.
Jung claimed that there exist certain psychological drives dormant
in our shared unconscious: these are the Archetypes. Western
Civilization owes to Egypt the first formulation of most of these
Archetypes, from the omnipotent god to the ideas of the nation
state, political organization and astronomy. People of the present
day continue to wonder and marvel at the majesty of Egyptian art
and architecture; in this book, 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.
