TUTANKHAMEN: AMENISM, ATENISM & EGYPTIAN MONOTHEISM - 1st, 1923 - BUDGE King TUT

An important scholarly — and popular — volume by the great British Egyptologist, E.A. Wallis Budge, of Tutankhamen, appearing immediately after the great 1922 discovery by Howard Carter and George Herbert of the tomb (c.1332-1323 B.C.E., 18th Dynasty). A beautifully printed work, generously illustrated with plates and drawings in text. Budge's translation and publication of this volume — which includes his translations of Pharaoh Akhenaten's "Hymns to the Aten" — helped clarify the enormity of this discovery as the work contributed to the cultural frenzy associated with "King Tut" and his golden era. In very good condition: corners and spine ends lightly bumped and chafed; rubbed edges; some minor general shelf wear; interior is clean and free of markings.
