Samenvatting
In this illustrated study, renowned Egyptologist E. A. Wallis Budge investigates amulets of ancient civilizations, revealing their cultural and religious significance.
A stunning and thorough investigation, Amulets and Superstitions seeks to demystify the jewelry worn or displayed by ancient peoples. Some were everyday charms worn widely, while others are exquisite crafts made of precious metals, reserved for royalty or nobility. Their symbols reflected aspects of social and cultural life, such as the importance of good fortune or fertility.
It was common for such amulets to be worn in reverence to the ancient Gods, and to display an important deity or symbol of faith. This thread is identified across the Egyptian, Gnostic, Hebrew, Phoenician and other ancient peoples. Some jewelry is carved with certain numbers or peculiar symbols, each signifying a particular meaning and importance to the ancients of yore.
E. A. Wallis Budge was one of the leading figures of ancient history in the early 20th century, writing numerous books and researches at an exciting time of numerous discoveries involving Ancient Egypt and Middle-Eastern civilizations. This work was published in 1930, and is imbued by decades of the author's accumulated experience and knowledge.
