Description
Egyptian Sepulchres and Syrian Shrines: Including a Visit to Palmyra is a travelogue written by Emily Anne Beaufort in 1874. The book provides a detailed account of Beaufort's journey to Egypt and Syria, where she explored ancient tombs and shrines. In particular, the book focuses on her visit to Palmyra, a city in modern-day Syria that was once a flourishing center of trade and culture in the ancient world.Beaufort's descriptions of the tombs and shrines she encountered are vivid and detailed, and she offers insights into the history and culture of the people who built them. She also provides a glimpse into the daily life of the people she met on her journey, including Bedouin tribes and local merchants.Throughout the book, Beaufort's writing is informed by her deep knowledge of classical history and archaeology. She draws on her extensive research to provide context for the places she visits, and her observations are grounded in a deep appreciation for the art and architecture of the ancient world.Overall, Egyptian Sepulchres and Syrian Shrines is a fascinating account of a journey through some of the most important historical and cultural sites in the Middle East. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and culture of this region, as well as for those interested in the history of travel writing.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
