About This Book

An account of an ancient Egyptian site and its traditions recounts the Osiris legend, traces the settlement's history through pharaonic and Christian periods, describes monuments and their systematic plundering, and documents contemporary inhabitants, customs, and annual pilgrimages to a sacred lake southeast of the temple; the author combines archaeological description, local topography, and personal recollections from four years' residence to evoke both material remains and living rituals.
