| Summary | "The Glory of the Pharaohs" by Arthur E. P. Brome Weigall is an archaeological account written in the early 20th century. The narrative focuses on the importance of fieldwork in Egyptology, arguing for the significance of firsthand experience in understanding the ancient culture and its artifacts. The book appears to explore the intricate relationship between modern Egyptologists and their crucial field investigations, as well as how these contribute to the broader understanding of Egyptian history. The opening of the book introduces readers to the author's perspective on the role of Egyptologists, emphasizing the necessity of conducting research in the field, rather than solely relying on studies conducted in museums or libraries. Weigall contrasts the experiences of field researchers with those of scholars who remain in comfortable domestic environments, arguing that the former gain a deeper appreciation and understanding of their subject. He discusses the challenges faced by Egyptologists, highlighting the need for a holistic approach that incorporates historical context and the cultural practices of modern Egyptians to truly grasp the complexities of ancient Egyptian civilization.
