Robert S. Merrillees, a distinguished diplomat and archaeologist with deep expertise in the ancient Near East and Mediterranean, presents a meticulous account of how Egyptian objects came to reside in museums, universities, and private hands across Australia. The work uncovers the stories behind individual pieces — their origins, acquisition histories, and the collectors and scholars who championed them — illuminating the broader networks of trade, diplomacy, and intellectual curiosity that shaped antipodean engagement with one of the world's oldest civilizations. Written with scholarly authority yet accessible in tone, it argues that Australia's relationship with ancient Egypt is far richer and more complex than commonly recognized. An indispensable reference for Egyptologists, museum professionals, and anyone captivated by the global afterlife of ancient artifacts.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48826036617435,"sku":"2026770001006-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/cf2b1011-d747-4816-b682-1dfbee44c965.png?v=1780311378","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026770001006-secondhand-living-with-egypts-past-in-australia","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
