About this book
The material and intellectual presence of Egypt is at the heart of Western culture, religion and art from Antiquity to the present. This volume aims to provide a long term and interdisciplinary perspective on Egypt and its mnemohistory, taking theories on objects and their agency as its main point of departure. The central questions the book addresses are why, from the first millennium BC onwards, things and concepts Egyptian are to be found in such a great variety of places throughout European history and how we can account for their enduring impact over time. By taking a radically object-oriented perspective on this question, this book is also a major contribution to current debates on the agency of artefacts across archaeology, anthropology and art history.

Reviews
" The importance of the book lies in its truly interdisciplinary approach and the multidisciplinary background of its authors. This book is an important and much-needed new approach to the reception of Ancient Egypt and clearly presents a milestone for the study of the Mnemohistory of Egypt and much more, primarily because of its focus on objects and material culture." ( Julia Budka in Aegyptiaca. Journal of the History of Reception of Ancient Egypt, 01.2022)
