ALGY244 is designed to explore themes of how the ancient Egyptians viewed the world around them. In particular, it will look at the ways in which they conceptualised the presence and operation of the divine within the natural environment, and how they modified the latter by building structures that allowed contact between their world and the supernatural domain. The module will especially emphasise the ways in which the Egyptians integrated notions of ‘sacred landscape’ into their everyday lives, and will focus on the non-mortuary evidence.
