Author Description

Excerpt from Our Records of the Nativity and Modern Historical Research: A Reply to Professor Ramsay's Thesis <p>Egypt, possessing a marvellous climate which enables it to hold undecayed in its soil and sands works of art buried for vast ages, has, it is well known, supplied in modern times an unceasing series of archaeological discoveries of the highest interest and value. <p>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. <p>About the Publisher <p>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
