520    The ancient Egyptians are an enduring source of 
       fascination-mummies and pyramids, curses and rituals have 
       captured our imaginations for generations. We all have a 
       mental picture of ancient Egypt, but is it the right one? 
       How much do we really know about this once great 
       civilization? In this absorbing introduction, Ian Shaw, 
       one of the foremost authorities on Ancient Egypt, 
       describes how our current ideas about Egypt are based not 
       only on the thrilling discoveries made by early 
       Egyptologists but also on fascinating new kinds of 
       evidence produced by modern scientific and linguistic 
       analyses. He also explores the changing influences on our 
       responses to these finds, by examining the impact of 
       Egyptology on various aspects of popular culture such as 
       literature, cinema, opera, and contemporary art. He 
       considers all aspects of ancient Egyptian culture, from 
       tombs and mummies to the discovery of artefacts and the 
       decipherment of hieroglyphs, and from despotic pharaohs to
       animal-headed gods. From the general reader interested in 
       Ancient Egypt, to students and teachers of ancient history
       and archaeology, to museum-goers, this Very Short 
       Introduction will not disappoint.
