| Summary: | Egyptology in the early twentieth century -- Between two worlds -- Bridging the gap -- A turning point -- Excavation and discovery -- The cult of Heqaib -- Labib Habachi and Ahmed Fakhry -- A new era -- The salvage of Nubia -- Changing times -- Picking up the reins -- Professional discord -- Racing against time. Labib Habachi, Egypt's most perceptive and productive Egyptologist, was marginalized for most of his career. This title presents not only a biography of this important scholar but also a survey of Egyptian archaeology in the twentieth century in which Habachi's work is measured against that of his best-known contemporaries |
