The Influence Of Egypt Upon Temple Orientation In Greece

By J. Norman Lockyer

Book Overview

The book ""The Influence Of Egypt Upon Temple Orientation In Greece"" by J. Norman Lockyer explores the impact of ancient Egyptian culture on the orientation of temple architecture in ancient Greece. The author delves into the history and mythology of both civilizations, examining the similarities and differences in their religious beliefs and practices.
