Egypt's Legacy The Archetypes of Western Civilization: 3000 to 30 BC By: Michael Rice Publisher: Routledge Print ISBN: 9780415157797, 041515779X eText ISBN: 9781134492558, 1134492553 Edition: 1st Pages: 256 Copyright year: 1997 Format: EPUB Available from $ 18.78 USD SKU 9781134492558R90 Drawing on Jungian psychology to show why Egypt has been so important in the history of Western civilisation, Michael Rice explains the majesty and enduring appeal of Egyptian civilization. Jung claimed that there exist certain psychological drives dormant in our shared unconscious: these are the archetypes. From the omnipotent god to the idea of the nation state, the formulation of most of these archetypes is owed to ancient Egypt. Michael Rice sets out to recover the sense of wonder that the Egyptians themselves felt as they contemplated the world in which they lived, and the way they expressed that wonder in the religion, art and literature. He traces the story of Egyptian civilization from its emergence in the third millennium BC to its transformation following the Macedonian conquest in 30 BC.
