This facsimile edition of a highly acclaimed volume re-releases a significant study of the evidence for the domesticated plants and animals exploited by the ancient Egyptians. The emergence of agriculture must rank among the most pivotal steps taken by humans on their long journey to the present day, marking the transition from nomadic lifestyles to settled existence since the Neolithic era and the birth of civilization. Among the earliest civilizations, Ancient Egypt stands out as a particularly valuable field of study due to the preservation of its physical remains in the arid desert environment. The Egyptians have bequeathed us with an abundance of written and pictorial records spanning over 5000 years, providing a rich tapestry of their history and culture. This comprehensive study encompasses a wide range of plant and animal species, including grasses, legumes, vegetables, fruits, domestic animals, and pets. It is lavishly illustrated with images from Egyptian wall paintings and reliefs, offering a vivid portrayal of the Egyptians' utilization of plants and animals in their daily lives. Thirty years after its initial publication, this groundbreaking volume remains an indispensable resource for archaeologists across various disciplines and for anyone with an interest in zoology, botany, and early agriculture.
