Overview

Excerpt from The Temple of Mut in Asher: An Account of the Excavation of the Temple and of the Religious Representations and Objects Found Therein, as Illustrating the History of Egypt and the Main Religious Ideas of the Egyptians IT has been said that a book, like a joke, con fesses failure in offering an explanation of itself, yet the account of an excavation undertaken by amateurs would seem to demand some sort of apology. Our first intention was not ambitious. We were desirous of clearing a picturesque site. We were frankly warned that we should make no discoveries indeed if any had been anticipated it was unlikely that the clearance would have been entrusted to inexperienced direction. Thus we began without any idea of publishing an account of our work. If we had had any such intention we should have kept com'pleter records, and might have ordered many things differently.
