Beschreibung

"This book examines the dynamics around the introduction and spread of helmets and body armour throughout Egypt during the 18th, 19th and 20th Dynasties, and argues that the word 'introduction' is the best term to define this phenomenon because these types of military equipment were not in fact Egyptian technological innovations. The analysis focuses particularly on a survey of iconographic, archaeological and lexicographic attestations, and draws productive comparisons between the Egyptian data and contemporary attestations from the Middle East and the Aegean region"--
