Carl Richard Lepsius (1810-1884) was a pioneering Prussian
Egyptologist considered one of the founders of modern Egyptology.
He was commissioned to lead an archaeological expedition to Egypt
by the Prussian King Frederick Wilhelm IV in 1842. This 1858
English translation presents an 1856 publication that contained one
of the first detailed discussions of the obscure 22nd Dynasty of
ancient Egyptian kings. The 22nd Dynasty were descendants of Libyan
settlers who ruled between c.943 and 716 BCE in the Third
Intermediate Period of Egyptian history, a period characterised by
episodes of political instability. Lepsius discusses the chronology
of succession in the 22nd Dynasty with reference to texts uncovered
by himself and the French archaeologist Auguste Mariette. Although
some of Lepsius' assertions regarding the origin of the 22nd
Dynasty are now known to be incorrect, his book is still a valuable
account of the early historiography of the 22nd Dynasty.
The classic tale of a greedy snake, with illustrations by Eric
Carle, is now available in an oversize board book edition
In this humorous story about manners, respect, and friendship, a
greedy python eats every creature he comes across in the jungle.
From a tiny mouse to an enormous elephant, the devoured animals
eventually befriend one another in the belly of the snake, where
they team up and kick the inside of the python until he spits them
out. Rather than learning his lesson, the python sticks to his
greedy ways. When he spots his own tail and mistakes it for food,
he swallows himself and...disappears
