The Pharaoh''s Shadow: Travels in Ancient and Modern Egypt
English
By (author): Anthony Sattin
In a ruined temple along the Nile, Anthony Sattin sees a woman praying to the gods of ancient Egypt to bless her with a child. Later that day, a policeman stops his taxi to ask to borrow a mobile phone to call his mother. The ancient rubs up against the modern just as dramatically as when Flaubert wrote, 'Egypt is a wonderful place for contrasts - splendid things gleam in the dust. Anthony Sattin has tracked down extraordinary examples of ancient survivals in the hurly-burly of modern Egypt.
