Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Our Records of the Nativity and Modern Historical Research: A Reply to Professor Ramsay´s Thesis Egypt, possessing a marvellous climate which enables it to hold undecayed in its soil and sands works or art buried for vast ages, it is well known, supplied in modern times an unceasing series of archæological discoveries of the highest interest and value. Even the literary productions of ancient days inscribed on the perishable film of the papyrus are being constantly brought to the surface in a state of preservation that renders it a comparatively easy task to decipher them; and owing to the subjection that the country has undergone in turn to Greek, to Roman, to Byzantine, and Arab masters, a large proportion of papers relating to those alien but dominant races may be found side by side with documents of purely Egyptian character. The search for such buried writings was for long confined to indiscriminate and wasteful gleaning by unintelligent native diggers and dealers, the provenance of documents exhumed being for the most part unknown owing to the natural reluctance of the finders to disclose the localities from which they had extracted their treasure-trove, and many of the papers themselves, acquired by casual collectors of curiosities, were widely dispersed and lost sight of.
