Reviews

'This is a much needed study of a group of funerary objects from the royal Napatan tombs.' Dr Brigitte Balanda, Independent Researcher 'The Author does an excellent job of tracing out the mythical connections of the goddesses with both the Egyptian myth of the Eye of Ra, and their Nubian-context specific meaning within the pantheon present at Gebel Barkal.' Dr Elizabeth Minor, Wellesley College
