Book Description:
Dr. Regine Schulz studied egyptology in Berlin and Munich. After teaching at several universities and curating the Egyptian collections at the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore, she is currently working as director of the Roemer-und Pelizaeus-Museum in Hildesheim, Germany, which is mostly dedicated to Ancient Egyptian and Ancient Peruvian art.

Comes with a free papyrus bookmark featuring a painted design inspired by ancient Egyptian art.
The first use of papyrus paper is believed to have taken place around 4000 BC. The ancient Egyptians kept the technology of papyrus-making secret, enabling them to hold the monopoly on its production.
The raw material of papyrus paper comes from the plant Cyperus papyrus. The plant grew along the banks of the Nile and provided the Egyptians with a versatile raw material. Papyrus was used for the manufacture of boats, ropes and baskets, but its singular most valuable product was the papyrus paper. Not only was this Egypt’s greatest export, but it revolutionised the way that valuable information was recorded.
These bookmarks feature an assortment of painted designs based on ancient Egyptian art and design, one of which will be selected at random. See less
